According to media reports, US President Donald Trump has credited Pakistan with “really helping” the United States secure a peace deal with Iran, which took effect this week following weeks of Pakistani-mediated talks.
In an interview with Axios, an American media outlet, Trump has reportedly stated that Pakistani leaders leveraged their deep familiarity with Iranian counterparts, playing a vital role in a complex negotiation process which often involved difficult decisions by both sides.
That the whole world, including the US and the Islamic republic, is acknowledging Pakistan’s proactive role in this regard is a fact.
The Pakistani prime minister, chief of defence staff, several ministers, and others had been working day in and day out to help both US and Iran reach a peace deal at the earliest. Pakistan has done something extraordinary, so to speak. Their dedication and perseverance towards a noble goal will surely pay off, even if it takes time.
