Why Pakistan has Become an Intermediary Between Iran and the United States

Pakistan has emerged as an unlikely mediator, proposing to assist bring Washington and Tehran to the bargaining table as worries of a larger regional confrontation intensify in the wake of US and Israeli raids on Iran that started in late February.

Islamabad is rarely asked to serve as a go-between in high-stakes diplomacy, but this time it has done so for a variety of reasons, including the fact that it has strong relationships to both Washington and Tehran and that it stands to gain a great deal from the outcome of the conflict.

Although they haven’t given many specifics, Pakistani government officials have stated that their public peace initiative comes after weeks of quiet negotiations. Additionally, they have stated that Islamabad is prepared to hold negotiations between US and Iranian delegates.

Only a few days ago, media rumors about Pakistan’s involvement in Iran-US negotiations came to light. Later, Islamabad officials admitted that Iran had received a proposal from the United States.

Who has been Iran’s point of contact in the indirect negotiations is still unknown. Although Tehran has admitted responding with its own offers, Iran has insisted it has not held such discussions and rejected the US plan.
