US Iran Talks | Why Mehdi Hasan Questions Pakistan's Growing Closeness To Trump

Mehdi Hasan, Editor-in-Chief and CEO of Zeteo has raised questions over Pakistan's growing proximity to Donald Trump, suggesting strategic diplomacy aimed at influencing US policy. He argued that any breakthrough in talks with Iran is unlikely in the short term, citing deep mistrust and Washington's hardline stance on nuclear issues. Hasan also emphasized that meaningful agreements, like the Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) under Barack Obama, took years of sustained negotiations. While short-term de-escalation may be possible, he warned that a lasting solution would require broader consensus and addressing regional security concerns, including tensions involving Benjamin Netanyahu.
