Pakistan has emerged as a key player in the U.S.-Iran peace talks, marking a remarkable transformation from a global pariah to a diplomatic heavyweight. During President Trump's second term, Pakistan's top general, Asim Munir, has taken an unorthodox approach to forging a deal between Washington and Tehran, engaging with Iran's political leadership and its Revolutionary Guards Corps. The extension of the ceasefire with Iran came after an appeal from Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the country's powerful military leader, Munir. The turnaround in relations with Pakistan has been swift, following a period of low engagement with the Biden administration. This could potentially influence the United States' relationship with Pakistan, potentially leading to a potential conflict with China.
