The Express Tribune · Pakistan · Modi's bid to isolate Pakistan backfires as Islamabad courts Washington and Beijing
Pakistani-establishment-aligned reading: casts the decade-long isolation drive as a strategic failure and Islamabad's 2025-26 mediation between Washington and Tehran as proof of restored centrality. Emphasises Pakistan as a 'hinge' between regions.
“Pakistan, once cast as a pariah, now sits at the table where Washington and Tehran negotiate — the isolation script has been reversed.”
