🚨🇮🇷🇱🇧 Iran fought for Hezbollah, and now Lebanon is on the negotiating table too. Wajahat S. Khan says Iran successfully split the U.S. and Israel on Lebanon, forced Pakistan to expand its mediation to a third capital, and made the ceasefire mean something beyond just the Strait. Pakistan has never been involved in the Levant. Now it is brokering northern Israel and southern Lebanon. Wajahat S. Khan

🚨🇵🇰🇮🇷Every country that borders Iran has a U.S. military base except Pakistan. That is exactly why Iran trusts it. Wajahat S. Khan says Pakistan has quietly pulled together Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Qatar into what people in Islamabad are calling "Islamic NATO." Five major militaries aligned around one goal: less U.S. military presence in the region. Pakistan has troops and fighter jets in Saudi Arabia, won Iran's trust during the war, and is now conducting negotiations no one else can. Wajahat S. Khan

🇵🇰🇮🇷 The peace process may already be dead, and the proof is coming out of Islamabad rather than Washington. Journalist Wajahat S. Khan says the thing to watch has shifted away from the White House and Tehran entirely. The real signal is what's moving between Islamabad and Beirut, and one detail tells him the Pakistanis are deadly serious about this mediation. "The Pakistanis have been airtight. We haven't seen a version of the draft leaked. And by the way, Pakistan is a very leaky country." Which makes the next part land harder. If Pakistan, of all countries, is now publicly signaling that Israel is the spoiler, the entire calculus around these talks just changed. Wajahat S. Khan

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump is fighting the Fed, Congress, and the press all at once, while Iran answers to nobody but itself. Security analyst Wajahat S. Khan says the pressure in this standoff runs entirely one way, and Tehran knows it. The Iranian leadership faces no midterms, no hostile media cycle, and no opposition party waiting for a stumble. "The Iranians know that the American setup is very different, and Trump has over promised." And here's the thing: Iran runs on cash, two presidents have already paid them, and the deal math has existed for months. Someone in Washington just has to do it. Wajahat S. Khan

#WATCH | Washington DC, USA | On Pakistan's role as a mediator in the peace talks between the US and Iran, Director of Policy Analysis at the Middle East Forum (MEF), Dr Michael Rubin says, "...Pakistan may be a mediator, but it is likely to ensure behind the scenes that there is never a final agreement and that there is always enough chaos from which it can benefit" "...Pakistan stands to win billions of dollars, gain great diplomatic prestige, and position itself as a key diplomatic mediator for supposedly solving the problem that it helped create. Pakistan should have been called out rather than embraced. Someone will one day write a book about how Pakistan has been able to turn lead into gold. They promoted the Taliban and then benefited from that. Rather than being bombed into oblivion, as some argued they should have been, they sponsored terrorism against India and the United States, and yet they seem to have been rewarded for it by having Donald Trump place them in a prime diplomatic position, rewarding Asim Munir with White House visits and Mar-a-Lago lunches. The fact of the matter is that Pakistan hosted Osama bin Laden. There has seldom been a government with more blood on its hands than Pakistan, and yet the international community somehow rewards it... Pakistan wants to see instability in the region because it engages in security extortion. As long as it can light fires within its region, Pakistan believes it can continue collecting funds. They don't want that billion-dollar gravy train to disappear. Pakistan may be a mediator, but it is likely to ensure behind the scenes that there is never a final agreement and that there is always enough chaos from which it can benefit..."

Pakistan is only a postman. Pakistan is only a courier. The real negotiation is being done between emissaries of Donald Trump and the Iranians. Everybody else is a cutout.

Asim Munir made a huge mistake. He copied the Chinese method by censoring Imran Khan, but it backfired. Today, 𝑰𝒎𝒓𝒂𝒏 𝑲𝒉𝒂𝒏 is a combination of Mandela, Martin Luther King, Che Guevara, Khomeini, and JFK. He is more popular than ever, more relevant than ever.

#WATCH | Tel Aviv, Israel: On Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif's tweet, Eylon Levy, former Israeli government spokesman, says, "The Pakistani Defence Minister's statement is outrageous and completely unacceptable. Israel is interpreting it, rightly, as a call for the annihilation of our country by a nuclear-armed state. This is reminding a lot of Israelis what most Indians know, which is that Pakistan is not a good-faith actor. It is an aggressive state that systematically supports terrorism. It is not a good-faith mediator in these negotiations with Iran. It is an ally of Iran that is trying to build a radical Islamic axis that will threaten Israel and India alike. I think Indians should be deeply concerned about the increased role that Pakistan is getting internationally from the mediation of the talks with Iran. It is setting a very dangerous precedent that is turning Pakistan into a global power broker and peacemaker in a way that is going to lead countries to throw their support behind Pakistan, to dismiss India's own security concerns, where we know now the mask has come off. This is a country with nuclear weapons that is openly calling for the destruction of Israel and, of course, has subjected India to so much of that support for terrorism and aggression in the past."

Pakistan has proven to be a key mediator in recent weeks, but it did not become a diplomatic mediator overnight. It built leverage, kept channels open, and used careful positioning and strategic balance to place itself at the centre of diplomacy during the US-Israel war on Iran

India, despite being a friend of both US, Israel and Iran, is nowhere in the mediation of the war between them. But Pakistan has taken centre stage as a mediator, and now US VP JD Vance is going to Pakistan to meet Iranian officials. This is the result of the failure of Narendra Modi’s leadership. What happened to all those medals he used to collect from countries across the world, including the Gulf?

I can't understand what's the obsession of Pakistani players and fans for handshakes and playing bilateral series? One thing Pakistan must need to understand is that India will never play the bilateral series with Pakistan at any cost.

Imran Khan has always placed state responsibility above personal or party interests. In these sensitive circumstances, with the region engulfed in escalating conflict, his position has remained clear, balanced, and grounded in the national interest. He has consistently prioritised diplomatic engagement and conveyed an unequivocal message: Pakistan is ready to play its role for peace, but it cannot become part of another war. Today, Pakistan needs that same foresight, courage, and balanced judgment. The world expects a responsible, peace-loving Pakistan, and Pakistan needs leadership that carries the trust of its people. Imran Khan must be released immediately, because only a leader with a public mandate can make the right and courageous decisions in difficult times. That is the national interest, and that is the need of the hour. #ReleaseImranKhan
