Pakistan’s Mediation Role in US-Iran Tensions Comes with High Stakes

According to Imtiaz Gul, a seasoned security analyst and director of Islamabad’s Center for Research and Security Studies, Pakistan’s position as a mediator between the US and Iran is precarious due to its delicate balancing act between geographical proximity to Iran and its military alliances with the US and Saudi Arabia. The shared 909km border with Iran underscores the complexity of Pakistan’s situation.

Gul noted that until recently, there was widespread doubt about Pakistan’s ability to successfully navigate this challenging environment. Now, Islamabad faces a new hurdle: if negotiations between the US and Iran do indeed take place, the outcome will depend on whether the US accepts at least some of the 10 proposals put forth by Iran, and whether the resulting deal can sustain the current two-week ceasefire.
