Pakistan's role between Syria and Iran
The article discusses Pakistan's attempt to play the role of mediator between Syria and Iran, despite the country facing internal political, economic, and security crises, and lacking a strong record in regional mediation. Damascus is not currently seeking a mediator, especially given its historically rooted and deep relationship with Iran, which is not easily altered through a third party. The Syrian government emphasized that Iran must acknowledge what it has done in Syria before any mediating role can be considered, highlighting that the Pakistani initiative lacks the trust and acceptance of the involved parties. The article clarifies that influence requires a solid track record and time to build trust, and any Pakistani effort to initiate mediation should be modest and based on its actual capabilities, rather than merely demonstrating influence or engaging in diplomatic showmanship.
