ISLAMABAD: In a major diplomatic development amid rising
tensions in the Middle East, Donald Trump has announced a temporary halt to
potential military attacks on Iran’s power infrastructure. The move is being
seen as a sign of de-escalation.
The development comes at a time when Pakistan’s quiet but
active diplomacy, in coordination with Turkey and Egypt, is helping to reduce
the risk of a wider regional conflict.
According to diplomatic sources, Pakistan has played a
central role in behind-the-scenes contacts over the past 48 hours, working with
Ankara and Cairo to facilitate indirect contact between Washington and Tehran.
The efforts were aimed at preventing further military escalation and paving the
way for talks at a time when the situation had entered a critical phase.
The Pakistani leadership remained active throughout the
process. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif maintained high-level diplomatic
contacts, while Army Chief Asim Munir held strategic meetings with regional and
international partners. According to informed officials, the focus was not
limited to immediate de-escalation but also on laying the foundation for
lasting regional stability.
Reducing Iran-US tensions: Pakistan's effective diplomacy has played a key role. Diplomatic observers say Pakistan adopted a balanced strategy, maintaining contacts with both the United States and Iran. This position has helped Islamabad emerge as a credible mediator, especially at a time when direct contacts between the two countries were limited.
