'I don't trust them..': Graham on Islamabad’s mediation role over reports of Iran using Pak airbases

US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on Tuesday publicly questioned Pakistan’s credibility as a mediator in the ongoing US-Iran negotiations, citing reports that Iranian military aircraft had been allowed to use Pakistani airbases during the conflict. Speaking during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Graham pressed US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over reports that Iranian aircraft were operating from Pakistani territory, asking whether such actions were “consistent with [Pakistan] being a fair mediator.” The reports have pointed a lot of fingers at Islamabad over its mediation role, with US Senator and a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham, calling for a "complete reevaluation" of Islamabad's role as a mediator.
