Islamism. Pakistan has started playing the role of a decisive mediator between the US and Iran to defuse the growing military tension and prevent a possible war. As part of this effort, Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has reached Saudi Arabia, while Army Chief General Asim Munir has reached Iran's capital, Tehran.
Prime Minister Sharif reached Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. He is scheduled to have a special meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman there.
