Pakistan Has the World’s Attention. Now It Must Focus Inwards
Pakistan said the deal was reached after overnight contacts involving Army Chief Asim Munir, Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
- This weekend, Pakistan is hosting high-stakes US-Iran peace talks in Islamabad, marking the first official in-person negotiations between the two sides since the Islamic Revolution.
- Pakistan emerged as the mediator because it maintains strong diplomatic ties with both Washington and Tehran, while other regional options like Qatar and China were deemed unsuitable or too closely aligned.
- The indirect talks feature Vice President Vance and Steve Witkoff leading the US delegation, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf head Iran's team.
- These negotiations follow a fragile ceasefire announced on Wednesday, which aims to resolve weeks of conflict that roiled energy markets across the Middle East.
- Pakistan holds a direct stake in these proceedings, as the country imports the majority of its energy through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been choked off during the conflict.
