HOUSTON: Pakistan is playing a key behind-the-scenes role in facilitating potential negotiations between Iran and the United States, while deep mistrust between the two sides continues to hinder progress, according to an analysis by World Watch Alert Editor-in-Chief Asif Ali Bhatti.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the evolving situation, Bhatti said that although public statements suggest ongoing diplomatic engagement, ground realities indicate otherwise, with tensions in the region remaining high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He highlighted that General Syed Asim Munir has emerged as a central figure in diplomatic efforts, working to ease pressure on Iran and help pave the way for a possible ceasefire through backchannel engagements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analyst added that countries such as Egypt and T\u00fcrkiye are also involved in mediation efforts. However, a lack of trust persists, particularly due to past incidents where negotiations coincided with strikes on Iran, undermining confidence between the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
