In an exclusive conversation, senior journalist and news presenter Hamid Mir analyses Pakistan's strategic role in facilitating the ceasefire between the United States and Iran. Speaking from Islamabad ahead of the high-stakes talks scheduled for Friday, Mir clarifies that Pakistan acted as a facilitator rather than a traditional mediator, given its lack of diplomatic ties with Israel. He highlights the involvement of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, who initiated communication channels as early as March. Mir credits the improved Pakistan-Iran relationship to the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and recent cooperation regarding militancy in Balochistan. The discussion reveals that while Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir maintain unique rapport with both the Trump administration and Iranian leadership, China played a critical role in convincing Iran to agree to the truce. Mir warns that the two-week opening of the Strait of Hormuz is only a temporary respite, noting that a permanent solution remains difficult without addressing the conflict in Gaza. #HamidMir #RajdeepSardesai #ShehbazSharifTweet #itwebvideos #IranCeasefire #Pakistan #US #Iran #Ceasefire #Islamabad #IshaqDar #AsimMunir #DonaldTrump #MiddleEast #Diplomacy #IndiaToday #Geopolitics #StraitOfHormuz Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
