How did Pakistan become a global peacemaker? How did a debt-ridden country become America-Iran’s trouble-shooter?

News India Live, Digital Desk: A miracle has happened on the stage of international diplomacy which has shocked strategists around the world. Pakistan, which till yesterday had raised its hand to the world for its poor economy, has today emerged as an ‘angel of peace’ among arch enemies like America and Iran. The historic peace talks starting today (April 10, 2026) in Islamabad have brought Pakistan to the center of global politics. The ‘secret’ conversation between Trump and Sharif turned the tables. The most interesting thing about this entire incident is the statement of US President Donald Trump, in which he openly admitted that he postponed a major attack on Iran on the request of Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir. Trump wrote on ‘Truth Social’ that Pakistan had appealed to him to stop the destructive military action, after which he agreed to the ceasefire. Why was Pakistan chosen? These are the 3 big reasons: Experts believe that there are three main strategic reasons behind this success of Pakistan: Common interest with Iran: There is a 900 kilometer long border between Pakistan and Iran. Iran is confident that Pakistan can convey its message to Washington in the right way. Military Diplomacy: Field Marshal Asim Munir’s strong security relations with the US administration played an important role behind the scenes. Bet of neutrality: Due to mutual differences between the Gulf countries (GCC), America was looking for a regional player who would be close to Iran and also an ally of the western countries. Will this peace be permanent? Although talks are starting from today in Islamabad, but the challenges are no less. Are. This two-week temporary ceasefire will be able to turn into permanent peace only when Iran accepts the US proposal to completely open the ‘Strait of Hormuz’ and curb its nuclear ambitions. This is a ‘trial by fire’ for Pakistan; If this dialogue is successful, there will be a tremendous increase in Pakistan’s global credibility. Shashi Tharoor called it a ‘diplomatic fig leaf’. Meanwhile, former Indian diplomat and MP Shashi Tharoor has taken a dig at Pakistan’s role and called it a ‘diplomatic fig leaf’ (diplomatic mask). He says this is simply a way for Washington and Tehran to back out without losing face. However, he also added that if it brings peace to the region, then it is welcome.
