Pakistan expands mediation role as ties with Iran deepen
The relationship is increasingly centered on security, border management, and economic cooperation, with oil market implications as regional links grow.
OilPrice reports that Pakistan has taken on a larger mediation role in the U.S. and Israel conflict involving Iran, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir raising Pakistan’s profile in discussions with both Washington and Tehran.
The outlet says the government’s approach is driven by practical considerations, including expectations for the post conflict environment and the belief that work and opportunities will remain.
OilPrice adds that Pakistan Iran relations are building with a stronger emphasis on security and border management, alongside economic cooperation.
The article notes that Iran’s leadership dynamics have shifted, with IRGC influence increasing in Tehran after the 2025 and 2026 Israel and U.S. attacks, and it says Mojtaba Khamenei, formally Supreme Leader, has kept a low public profile due to injuries and security concerns.
