US Iran Ceasefire News | "Not Credible": Israel Questions Pak's 'Mediator' Role In US-Iran Talks

Israel's ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, has cast doubts on Pakistan's 'mediator' role in the ongoing ceasefire talks between Iran and the United States, saying Tel Aviv does not view Islamabad as a "credible player". The Israeli envoy said Washington has its own reasons for using the "services" of Islamabad but asserted Tel Aviv's objective is to achieve a situation without "Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure" in Southern Lebanon. "We don't see Pakistan as a credible player. I think that the United States has decided to use the services of the facilitation of Pakistan for their own reasons," Azar said while talking to the news agency ANI. The remarks came before US-Iranian direct talks on April 11, for which US Vice President JD Vance is likely to travel to Islamabad. He drew parallels between the Pakistan-brokered US-Iran ceasefire and when Team Trump worked with "problematic states like Qatar and Turkey" to broker agreements for a truce in Gaza, including with Hamas.
