Pakistan’s military spokesman warns of ‘powerful spoilers and detractors’ who still believe the conflict serves them.
Pakistan’s army is “cautiously optimistic” about mediation efforts between Iran and the United States as regional countries seek to revive a ceasefire in the eight-month-old war.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, spokesman for Pakistan’s military, suggested on Friday that there were positive signs in attempts to de-escalate the conflict. His comments to the Reuters news agency were the first since a high-level delegation visited Tehran this week.
