US Senator Rick Scott has criticised Pakistan's role in efforts to ease tensions between Washington and Tehran, accusing Islamabad of sending conflicting signals after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif attended the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In a post on X, Scott questioned Pakistan's suitability as a mediator in the ongoing US-Iran diplomatic process and pointed to what he described as the country's contradictory actions.

"We need to remember who Pakistan really is in the middle of all this.
