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.
