As the world waits to see if President Donald Trump will give his final approval to a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and, perhaps, finally bring the 2026 US-Iran conflict to a close, it\u2019s already clear that one of the more surprising developments of the conflict has been the prominent role of Pakistan as a mediator.<\/p>\n

\n

It was Pakistan\u2019s military leader, Field Marshal Asim Munir, who served as the key go-between in the talks that led to the initial two-week US-Iran ceasefire in early April, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif who announced that it had gone into effect. Several days later, Islamabad hosted the highest level talks between the US and Iranian governments since 1979, including US Vice President JD Vance. On April 21, Trump announced the ceasefire had been extended, saying it was at Pakistan\u2019s request. Munir has made two personal visits to Iran as part of his mediation efforts, the most recent on May 21.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Whereas the \u201cP5+1\u201d countries of the UN Security Council \u2014 the US, China, the UK, France, and Russia, plus Germany \u2014 helped bring about the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, and Oman hosted the US-Iran talks in the lead-up to the war, Pakistan has been the<\/em> intermediary and negotiating venue of choice since the conflict began. The world\u2019s only predominantly Muslim nuclear power is a rare country with credibility on both sides of this war.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pakistan\u2019s prominent diplomatic role in the conflict is the latest sign of the unexpectedly close relations between the country\u2019s government and the second Trump administration. \u201cThank you to Pakistan and its great prime minister and field marshal, two fantastic people!\u201d Trump wrote in a characteristic Truth Social post in April. He has lavished particular praise on Munir, whom he has called an \u201cexceptional man\u201d and \u201cmy favorite field marshal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pakistan\u2019s new role as an indispensable US partner is partly due to some skilled Trumpian diplomacy by its government and partly due to just how much this administration\u2019s global priorities have changed from the days when China and jihadist terrorism were the top of the agenda.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

How Pakistan went from pariah to partner in Washington<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

All of this would have been difficult to imagine during Trump\u2019s first term, when Pakistan was often treated as a pariah.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On New Year\u2019s Day in 2018, Trump suspended most security assistance to Pakistan, tweeting, \u201cThe United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump would go on to cancel hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Pakistan, which had been a close US counterterrorism partner even amid widespread allegations that it had provided safe harbor to the Taliban militants fighting US forces in Afghanistan and maintained relations with other anti-US militants. Pakistan responded by halting intelligence-sharing with the US amid widespread anti-American protests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At the same time, Trump cultivated a close relationship with Pakistan\u2019s arch-rival India and its prime minister, Narendra Modi. Modi\u2019s brand of majoritarian populist politics made him a natural Trump ally, and India\u2019s position as a superpower counterweight to China made it a natural security partner for the US. The pro-Indian tilt in US foreign policy continued into the Biden administration, and there was every expectation it would carry through when Trump returned in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Flattery and crypto: How Munir won over Trump<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Pakistan\u2019s turnaround with the new Trump administration began in early March 2025, when the country arrested an ISIS-K operative who was allegedly a key planner of the Kabul airport suicide bombing that killed 13 US troops during the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and extradited him to the United States, earning public gratitude from Trump.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Then came the brief May 2025 war between India and Pakistan. Pakistan\u2019s government publicly praised Trump for his \u201cpivotal leadership\u201d in the diplomacy that ended the conflict and nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize. The flattery worked: Trump brought up Pakistan\u2019s nomination during a phone call with Modi and was reportedly irritated that the Indian leader did not follow suit and, by contrast, seemed to go out of his way to downplay America\u2019s role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pakistan has also seemed particularly well-attuned to the personalist style of diplomacy in the Trump era, where the line between business and politics can be extremely blurry. Pakistan\u2019s finance minister has signed a deal with World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency company co-founded by Trump\u2019s sons and the sons of his diplomatic envoy, Steve Witkoff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Last year, Sharif also signed several memoranda on deals to deliver critical minerals and rare earth elements from Pakistan to the US. Pakistani officials have taken to referring to counterterrorism, critical minerals, and crypto as the \u201c3 Cs\u201d underlying their relationship with the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The current relationship has also doubtless been helped by the ascendance of Munir, a man who Trump might describe as a military strongman out of \u201ccentral casting.\u201d Pakistan would certainly not be playing the same role today if Imran Khan, the former cricket star turned anti-American populist prime minister \u2014 who took power halfway through Trump\u2019s first term \u2014 were still in office. Khan was removed in a vote of no confidence in 2022, which Khan blamed on the military establishment, and has been detained on corruption charges since 2023. With his removal, the military moved quickly to consolidate power.<\/p>\n

\n

Pakistan\u2019s military has always played a significant and complex role in Pakistan politics, exercising a significant amount of power behind the scenes; the country has suffered several military coups. Since Munir, formerly chief of the country\u2019s powerful military intelligence agency, was appointed army chief by Sharif in 2022, the nation has veered closer to an outright military dictatorship: A constitutional amendment passed in 2025 gave Munir full control over all branches of the military including the nuclear forces, for the duration of a term that could last until 2030, and immunity from prosecution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump has helped cement Munir\u2019s status by hosting the field marshal for a working lunch at the White House \u2014 the first time a Pakistani military leader rather than its elected prime minister has been hosted for such an event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

How Pakistan is navigating America\u2019s new priorities<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

If things are different now for the US and Pakistan, it\u2019s partly just because the world is different. The US military\u2019s withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 removed one of the major sources of tension in the US-Pakistan relationship: the Pakistani government\u2019s alleged double game with the Taliban. In fact, Pakistan and the now Taliban-controlled Afghanistan have been fighting a brutal border conflict for months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It also helps that the Trump administration is generally less focused on Islamist terrorism this time around. It has pivoted away from \u201cgreat power competition\u201d with China, decreasing the importance of India\u2019s role. US-India relations are generally frostier over a variety of issues ranging from India\u2019s agricultural protectionism, to immigration in the US, to India\u2019s economic relationship with Russia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe second Trump administration, in its foreign policy, is aggressively transactional; it\u2019s not changed by strategic considerations, even compared to how it was during its first term,\u201d said Michael Kugelman, senior fellow for South Asia at the Atlantic Council. \u201cSo in that regard, [the Trump administration] would not have any concerns about embracing Pakistan, even though Islamabad has a very close alliance with Beijing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pakistan has been accumulating an unlikely set of friends and partners in recent years. Even amid its rapprochement with the US, Pakistan has deepened its military and economic relationship with China. (Xi Jinping hailed his country\u2019s \u201cunbreakable\u201d friendship with Pakistan during a visit by Sharif last month.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In 2025, Pakistan signed a nuclear defense pact with Saudi Arabia. This is particularly notable given Pakistan\u2019s possession of nuclear weapons: Some analysts saw this as effectively extending Pakistan\u2019s nuclear umbrella to its allies in the Persian Gulf, though others disputed this interpretation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pakistan\u2019s relations with Saudi Arabia\u2019s rival, Iran, are complex, to put it mildly. It was only in 2024 that the two countries were lobbing missiles at each other\u2019s territory, but they quickly deescalated the tensions; they have since cooperated in combating separatist militants and smugglers along their shared border. Munir, in particular, is believed to be deeply familiar with Iran\u2019s military establishment from his days as Pakistan\u2019s spy chief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThey have proven remarkably adept and agile in ensuring that they\u2019re able to keep all of these balls in the air,\u201d said Elizabeth Threlkeld, director of the South Asia program at the Stimson Center, referring to Pakistan\u2019s global web of alliances. \u201cBut they are also vulnerable to a number of different shocks from different sources, given their positioning right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pakistan\u2019s involvement in US-Iran diplomacy is not just an effort to gain favor with Trump. Islamabad genuinely needs the war to be over as quickly as possible. Pakistan is one of the countries most exposed to the economic impact of the war: It normally imports almost two-thirds of its natural gas and 30 to 40 percent of its total imports via the Strait of Hormuz. Food and fuel prices are surging in the country. Add to that the strong domestic opposition to the US-led war among Pakistan\u2019s population, particularly its large Shiite minority. Pakistan\u2019s defense pact with Saudi Arabia also raises the risk of it being drawn into a conflict in the Gulf.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If the war has highlighted Pakistan\u2019s diplomatic savvy, it has also at times exposed its limits. For all its efforts, Pakistan\u2019s mediation has been unable to turn April\u2019s ceasefire into a permanent end to the conflict that reopens the Strait. At times, Pakistan has appeared to be misrepresenting the sides\u2019 actual positions in hopes of pushing a deal through. Trump\u2019s recent demand that a number of Muslim countries including Pakistan join the Abraham Accords as part of a final Iran deal did not go over well in Pakistan, which has refused to recognize Israel since its founding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The longer the war goes on, the more Pakistan\u2019s involvement will look less like a diplomatic masterstroke and more like a credibility-taxing quagmire. As India\u2019s experience has illustrated, foreign governments are often lavished with praise by Trump only so long as they\u2019re useful. If Pakistan can\u2019t deliver the ceasefire deal Trump is looking for, or if his priorities simply shift again, it may once again find itself on the receiving end of Trump\u2019s attacks.<\/p>\n
