The United States has signaled confidence in India’s position while dismissing Pakistan’s role as a mediator in the ongoing Iran conflict, amid rising global tensions.
US Questions Pakistan’s Credibility
A senior US official indicated that Washington is not relying on Pakistan to mediate between the US and Iran. The remarks reflect growing skepticism about Islamabad’s influence and reliability in high-stakes diplomacy. Reports suggest Pakistan has been passing messages between the two sides, but its role remains limited and contested.
India Seen as a Stable Partner
The US emphasised that it remains “comfortable” with India’s stance on the conflict. Analysts and officials believe India’s global credibility and balanced relations with multiple powers make it a more dependable actor in international negotiations.
Iran Conflict Keeps Diplomacy Open
Despite tensions, diplomatic channels remain active. Iran has rejected parts of the US proposal as unfair but has not closed the door to future talks. Mediation efforts by multiple countries continue as the conflict shows no immediate resolution.
