Pakistan’s emergence as a mediator in the U.S.-Iran war is a masquerade, showcasing a military regime, led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, seeking legitimacy through compliance with U.S. agendas. The facade of diplomacy hides a deeper reality: military-managed governance, manipulative partnerships, and economic subjugation sustained by Western powers. As global dynamics shift, Pakistan's balancing act among rival powers reveals an opportunistic survival strategy rather than genuine sovereignty. This troubling scenario underscores an essential truth: imperialism thrives not through outright violence but via coercive control, shaping a world where authentic peace remains a distant, arguably unattainable ideal.
