Pakistan Emerges as Key Mediator in US-Iran Talks

Pakistan is playing a central diplomatic role in US-Iran communications, with Iran reviewing a US proposal delivered through Pakistani channels. A Pakistani source indicates Iran's response could come as early as today. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's deputy prime minister stated that Pakistan is a 'no-go area' for Saudi Arabia amid the US-Iran conflict. One year after the India-Pakistan conflict, the ceasefire holds but little else does. Riyadh is looking to Pakistan as US security guarantees weaken.
