"Pakistan is attempting high-wire diplomacy, using its relative neutrality as a country with good relations with Iran and the US, to provide a venue for negotiations."
"The conflict is widening, there's little trust and the stated positions of Tehran and Washington are far apart."
"Iran's core concern is to ensure an end to the war and that there are no future attacks by the US and Israel."
"The toughest part is believing Trump's word. He is not a rational player. He's completely whimsical."
Intensifying Israeli bombings of civilian targets in Iran and an expanding US military presence in the Gulf are jeopardizing Pakistan's attempts to host peace talks between Iran and the US. Pakistan's neutrality and improved relations with both countries position it as a potential mediator. However, significant distrust exists between Tehran and Washington, and Israeli actions are seen as a major risk to negotiations. Iran seeks an end to hostilities, while skepticism about US intentions complicates the situation further.
