According to reports from April 13, 2026, the ongoing peace talks between the US and Iran in Islamabad have collapsed. Pakistan has been accused of playing a “double game” with Iran during this process, attempting to covertly support Iran while acting as a mediator. Following the inconclusive talks, tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have reached a fever pitch.
The following facts expose Pakistan’s “double-cross” approach in the mediation talks between Iran and the US.
Mediation and Double Stand: While Pakistan was maintaining diplomatic relations with the US, it also attempted to sabotage the negotiations by siding with Iran.
Negotiation Issues: The two sides failed to reach a concrete decision on Iran’s nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz, leading to the failure of the talks.
Result: Following these failed talks, the US announced a crackdown on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, increasing the risk of war in the region.
Pakistan attempted to position itself as a key player in the entire development, but is facing diplomatic criticism after the failure of the talks, which is a major blow to the future of the region.
