US Iran Peace Talks Highlight Pakistan’s Growing Diplomatic Role

On the diplomatic front, Pakistan's role as a hosting country, highlights its increasing significance. Pakistan wants to establish itself as a mediator who can bridge the gap between Washington and Tehran.

It is hoped that the talks will change the entire complexion of the region provided there is some give and take from both sides. The result will also bring peace to the global energy routes and the Middle East.

In spite of the diplomacy, the tension remains high. The US President, Donald Trump, recently issued a harsh warning to Iran and said that the absence of a “real agreement” may result in serious military repercussions. The president further ordered US troops to be strategically positioned against Iran

US Iran Peace Talks Could Reshape Middle East Stability

As talks begin, the international community waits in anticipation, hoping that Islamabad will be able to achieve what previous initiatives have failed to accomplish.
