Can Pakistan juggle US-Iran mediation with Saudi defence commitments?
"Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif engaged in high-level talks with US Vice President JD Vance, marking significant negotiations between Washington and Tehran since 1979. This meeting coincided with Saudi Arabia's announcement of a Pakistani military deployment under the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement, highlighting Pakistan's complex diplomatic position."
"The deployment of Pakistani military forces to Saudi Arabia includes fighter and support aircraft, aimed at strengthening operational readiness. This move underscores Pakistan's commitment to its ally while simultaneously acting as a mediator in the escalating tensions between the US and Iran."
Pakistan is navigating a complex geopolitical landscape by mediating between the US and Iran while simultaneously deploying military forces to Saudi Arabia under a defense agreement. The recent arrival of Pakistani military personnel in Saudi Arabia aims to enhance military coordination amid rising tensions in the region. This dual role poses challenges for Islamabad, as it seeks to maintain relations with both the US and Iran while supporting a key ally facing threats from Tehran.
