NEW DELHI: As efforts intensify to stabilise a shaky ceasefire between Iran and the United States, a new dimension has come into focus: China’s behind-the-scenes diplomacy. While Pakistan has positioned itself as the venue for talks, officials and analysts suggest Beijing’s role may ultimately prove decisive in determining whether the current truce evolves into a lasting agreement.
“On ceasefire night, hopes were fading, but China stepped in and convinced Iran to agree to a preliminary ceasefire,” said a senior Pakistani official AFP source familiar with the negotiations.
