News India Live, Digital Desk: A miracle has happened on the stage of international diplomacy that has stunned 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 (10 April 2026) in Islamabad have brought Pakistan to the center of global politics.
‘Secret’ conversation between Trump and Sharif backfires
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 Shahbaz 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 3 big reasons
Experts believe that there are three main strategic reasons behind this success of Pakistan:
Common interests 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 manner.
Military Diplomacy: Field Marshal Asim Munir’s strong security ties with the US administration played an important role behind the scenes.
Neutrality Stake: Due to mutual differences among the Gulf countries (GCC), America was looking for a regional player who was both close to Iran and an ally of the Western countries.
Will this peace be permanent?
Although talks are starting in Islamabad from today, the challenges are no less. 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, Pakistan’s global credibility will increase tremendously.
Shashi Tharoor called ‘diplomatic fig leaf’
Meanwhile, former Indian diplomat and MP Shashi Tharoor has taken a dig at Pakistan’s role by calling 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.
