The wheel has turned in Hormuz. America is doing grandfathering there now. Donald Trump’s navy has already seized several Iranian ships. After pressing this, Pakistan opened its six land routes to Iran for trade with Russia, China and other countries. As soon as the matter came to light, it was alleged that the Shahbaz Sharif government was colluding with America. According to experts, Islamabad has taken a dangerous diplomatic strategy. They kiss the mouth of the snake, the mouth of the frog.
Pakistan has been actively involved in mediation in the Middle East conflict since the beginning. The meeting between America and Iran was held in Islamabad. The Shahbaz Sharif government has acted as Iran’s spokesperson since the beginning. They were conveying Tehran’s message to Washington. Pakistan also took the initiative of meeting between the two sides in the second round. However, it was not fruitful. However, after the ceasefire, Trump was full of praise for Shahbaz Sharif and Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir. The two-faced snake theory is now emerging against them.
America’s national security expert Derek J. Grossman is angry with Pakistan’s decision to open trade routes to Iran. According to him, Trump wants to keep Iran under financial pressure, that’s why Hormuz and Iranian ports are guarded. The decision to open alternative trade routes to them at that time is not acceptable. Note that at the beginning of this month, Israel’s ambassador to India Reuven Azhar commented that Pakistan cannot be trusted as a mediator. Now Washington is saying the same thing.
Incidentally, America has lost trust in Pakistan not only by opening trade routes, but also by mediating the war. In this situation, it is reported that the two sides are talking directly to each other, avoiding Islamabad. According to a report by Al Jazeera, US President Donald Trump has said that he is now keen to talk directly to Iran over the phone rather than through Pakistan. He said that talks with Iran are going on more smoothly than before.
