Retired US Army colonel and geopolitical adviser Douglas Macgregor has dismissed Pakistan’s attempt to mediate in the Iran war, calling the move “ludicrous nonsense” and questioning Islamabad’s credibility.
In an interview with news agency ANI, Macgregor said Pakistan’s internal instability and economic troubles make it an unlikely broker. “For the Pakistanis to offer help is sort of like a man who is in a burning building offering you a spare room,” he said. He added that Israel would not see Pakistan as neutral, but rather “part of the problem”, making any talks in Islamabad unrealistic.
