US Senator Lindsey Graham said he does not trust Pakistan to mediate negotiations between the United States and Iran, and suggested that Washington should look for another country to facilitate talks. His remarks followed media reports that Pakistan had allowed Iran to keep aircraft on its territory, potentially shielding them from strikes.
Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, made the comments in an interview or statement, saying, "I don't trust Pakistan." He argued that the United States should seek a new mediator, according to reports. The exact context of his statement was not fully detailed in the available sources, but it was directly tied to the reporting about Iranian aircraft in Pakistan.
The Washington Examiner, a right-leaning outlet, reported that Graham's call for a new mediator came after Pakistan was said to be allowing Iran to keep aircraft in the country, effectively keeping them safe from potential attacks. The Indian Express, a left-leaning outlet, similarly covered Graham's criticism of Pakistan's role as a mediator, highlighting his statement of distrust and his push for an alternative intermediary.
Both outlets noted that Pakistan has historically served as a channel for communication between the US and Iran, particularly at times of heightened tension. Graham's comments represent a significant break from that arrangement, as he publicly questioned Islamabad's reliability. No additional details were provided in the sources about which country Graham might prefer as a replacement mediator, or whether the US administration is considering such a change.
The reports did not include responses from Pakistani officials or the US State Department. The situation remains fluid, with no official announcement on any shift in mediation strategy.
