Lindsey Graham Criticizes Pakistan's Role in US-Iran Mediation

Senator Lindsey Graham criticized Pakistan's mediation in the US-Iran conflict, citing Islamabad's stance against joining the Abraham Accords. He urged Pakistan to respond to former President Trump's call on the matter, highlighting issues with Pakistan's historical stance on Israel.

Senator Lindsey Graham has voiced concerns over Pakistan's involvement as a mediator in the US-Iran tensions, labeling it 'problematic.' His comments follow Pakistan Defence Minister Khwaja Asif's declaration against joining the Abraham Accords, which facilitate ties between Israel and Arab nations.

Asif reiterated Pakistan's position that it would not engage with Israel until a Palestinian state is established with pre-1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital. Graham referenced longstanding Pakistani animosity towards Israel and urged action following a previous call from former President Donald Trump for mediators to join the Accords.

Graham also highlighted reports of Iranian military presence on Pakistani bases, expressing concerns over rhetoric from Pakistani leaders against Israel. He stressed the need for Pakistan's clear stance on the Abraham Accords amidst US-Iran conflict negotiations.
