A high-level meeting between the United States and Iran in Islamabad failed to produce a lasting ceasefire, but Pakistan’s role as mediator drew global attention. The talks, led by US Vice President J.D. Vance and Iranian Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, marked the first such engagement between the two rival nations in nearly five decades. Despite the lack of a breakthrough, Pakistan’s diplomatic initiative was widely praised by major powers, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Japan.
The article argues that Pakistan’s growing diplomatic influence contrasts sharply with India’s diminishing role in global geopolitics. Indian media’s portrayal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “world guru” has been undermined by Pakistan’s recent successes, including its coordination with China and Saudi Arabia. India’s foreign minister reacted angrily in parliament when opposition members highlighted Pakistan’s achievements, calling it a US proxy. The piece suggests that India’s overt support for Israel and opportunistic foreign policy have weakened its credibility.
While the Islamabad talks did not end hostilities, Pakistan’s continued mediation between Washington and Tehran may keep diplomatic channels open amid renewed tensions.
