Pakistan is stepping up as a mediator between the U.S. and Iran amid rising tensions following military strikes. Although not typically a diplomatic go-between, Pakistan is using its good relationships with both countries to encourage peace talks. The country has been quietly passing messages between the U.S. and Iran, despite Iran’s public denial of such talks. Pakistan’s involvement is seen as crucial because it borders Iran and has strong ties with the U.S. and other key players in the region. This effort may be helping to prevent further escalation, as both the U.S. and Iran have shown some restraint in their actions.
