Can Pakistan juggle US-Iran mediation with Saudi defence commitments?

"Pakistan's Delicate Dilemma: Navigating the Fine Line Between Friend and Foe" As tensions between the US and China continue to escalate, Pakistan finds itself at a critical crossroads. With its strategic location at the intersection of the Middle East and South Asia, Islamabad's relationships with Washington and Beijing have become increasingly complex. Pakistani officials and analysts argue that the country can maintain its ties with both superpowers, but the challenge lies in finding a balance that doesn't alienate either side. As the global landscape shifts, Pakistan must navigate this delicate dance to ensure its own economic and security interests are protected. Will Islamabad succeed in its balancing act, or will the pressure from its powerful neighbors prove too great to bear?

Pakistani officials and a number of analysts say it can do both. But the balancing act won't be easy.
