Pakistan Mediates US-Iran Tensions and Seeks Enhanced US Security and Investment Ties

Pakistan Mediates US-Iran Tensions and Seeks Enhanced US Security and Investment TiesPreviousNext

Pakistan has taken an active role in mediating tensions between the US and Iran, though its efforts have not resolved longstanding complexities in Iran-Pakistan relations. Concurrently, Pakistan has hired a US lobbying firm to enhance security cooperation and attract investment in its minerals sector, aiming to institutionalize ties beyond personal diplomacy. Experts note uncertainty about the durability of improved US-Pakistan relations amid historical fluctuations and political changes in Washington.
