Pakistan Brokers “Impossible” Ceasefire Between the U.S. and Iran

Islamabad: In what may be the biggest news of the decade, the United States and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire, facilitated through Pakistan’s mediation. Remarkably, the country that managed to bring these two historically hostile nations to the negotiation table is none other than the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The question arises: how did Pakistan succeed in a conflict where war seemed inevitable? How did it emerge as a powerful mediator capable of convincing warring sides to agree to peace?

The ceasefire comes at a time when a single tweet from former U.S. President Donald J. Trump had escalated tensions to the brink, threatening devastation in Iranian territories. What many believed was impossible—the halting of imminent military action—was achieved swiftly through Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts.
