Pakistan’s mediation in the US-Iran conflict has drawn attention after a two-week ceasefire averted potential escalation. Sections of Pakistani media argue the effort by Shehbaz Sharif and Asim Munir merits a Nobel Peace Prize, citing their role as key intermediaries between Washington and Tehran. Islamabad is set to host negotiations aimed at a long-term agreement following the truce announced just before a US deadline for military action. The conflict, triggered by strikes beginning February 28, expanded across the region, impacting energy routes and markets. Multiple countries, including China, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, also contributed to diplomatic efforts. (PC: PTI)
