Pakistan Navigated Saudi and UAE Pressure to Advance Potential Iran–U.S. Breakthrough

Pakistan has emerged as a crucial player in the diplomatic efforts to ease tensions in the West Asia, according to Javed Rana, a senior Pakistani journalist and geo-strategic affairs expert.

He argued that Pakistan’s unique ties with Tehran and Washington gave it leverage to help bridge differences and support a possible breakthrough in negotiations. Rana said Iran’s military resilience has altered regional calculations and exposed the limits of U.S. coercive diplomacy, while the Strait of Hormuz remains a major strategic factor. He added that Pakistan’s role could help shape a new regional security framework and reduce the American military footprint in the West Asia.
