A very surprising news is currently emerging from the corridors of global diplomacy. Burdened with severe economic crisis and foreign debt, Pakistan has played a huge political gamble on the international stage. According to sources, Pakistan has started efforts to bring both the countries to the reconciliation table by playing the role of mediator between arch rivals America and Iran. Through this geopolitical game, Pakistan not only wants to regain its lost credibility in the Muslim world, but is also trying to make a big financial deal with the administration of US President Donald Trump, which can provide it billions of dollars of help. Expectation of big reward from Donald Trump and Pakistan’s economic agenda: Behind this sudden activism of Pakistan, its own big economic benefit is hidden. Pakistan’s economy, which has been dependent on loans from IMF and friendly countries for a long time, is in dire need of huge amount of foreign investment and dollars. Political analysts believe that if Pakistan is even slightly successful in reducing the tension between America and Iran, then it can get a huge reward from Washington in the form of a big economic package, trade exemption or loan waiver. Given Donald Trump’s pragmatic and ‘deal-making’ politics, Pakistan hopes that the Trump administration can enrich it in return for this mediation. Border relations with Iran and diplomatic balance with America: This path is not so easy for Pakistan, because its border directly meets Iran and there has been tension between the two countries in the past regarding cross-border terrorism. Despite this, Pakistan wants to take full advantage of its geographical position at this time. On one hand, he wants to get the gas pipeline and bilateral trade with Iran back on track, while on the other hand, he wants to assure America that its role is most important in establishing peace in the Middle East. Through this double game, Pakistani rulers are trying to give a new dimension to their relations with both Washington and Tehran. Will this big masterstroke of Pakistan succeed on the international stage? However, there is deep doubt among defense and global affairs experts whether Pakistan, which is itself struggling with internal unrest and political instability, will be able to broker an agreement between two such big superpowers. There is a decades-old dispute between America and Iran regarding nuclear program and sanctions, which is a very complex task to resolve. But if Pakistan is even partially successful in this diplomatic effort, then its stature on the global stage will suddenly increase and the American help it receives can prove to be a milestone in filling its empty coffers.
