News India Live, Digital Desk: A news is coming from the corridors of international diplomacy which has created panic from South Asia to Gulf countries. A former Pakistani minister has claimed that Pakistan is now preparing to play the role of mediator between America and Iran. The most shocking revelation has been made regarding the power structure of Pakistan, in which it has been said that not Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, but Army Chief General Asim Munir is the ‘de-facto’ (actual) leader of the country and he is commanding this entire global game.
New axis being formed between Trump administration and Asim Munir
According to the claim, after the change of power in Washington, a new round of talks has started between Pakistan’s military leadership and the US administration. The former minister believes that General Asim Munir has direct contacts with the Donald Trump-led administration. Pakistan wants to take advantage of its geographical position and work as a ‘bridge’ to reduce the tense relations between America and Iran. Experts say that if this mediation is successful, Pakistan can get back financial help and lost credibility on the international stage.
Shahbaz Sharif is just a face, real decisions are in the hands of the army?
In this report, a sharp satire has also been made on the internal politics of Pakistan. The former minister clearly said that even though Shehbaz Sharif is sitting on the Prime Minister’s chair to show the world, important strategic and foreign affairs decisions are taken from Rawalpindi (Army Headquarters) only. Pakistan’s army is currently desperate to get its relations with America back on track, so that the country’s deteriorating economy can be handled. Pakistan’s historical relations and border sharing with Iran add further weight to this mediation claim.

Political analysts believe that for Pakistan, making coordination between two arch rivals like America and Iran is like ‘walking on fire’. On one hand, America is imposing strict sanctions on Iran, while on the other hand, the growing influence of China is forcing Pakistan to proceed cautiously. Calling Asim Munir as the ‘real leader’ also makes it clear that the state of democracy in Pakistan is still under the shadow of the army. Now it remains to be seen whether the Trump administration takes this offer of Pakistan seriously or it will remain just another political statement.
