Role of Imran Khan as Negotiator
Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan also claimed that he laid the foundation of peace between both the countries after his back-to-back visits in Tehran and Riyadh. The claim of Mr. Khan seems to be true by many reasons.
During his tenure in October 2019, he visited both the countries and played his role as a mediator among the nations. Moreover, The President of Iran also accepted his role in bringing peace for both the countries.
Talking of him as a top diplomat is not accepted as during his visits Saudi Arabia was not ready to accept the mediation and solve the issue.
The situation at that time was so complicated that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman rejected any kind of dialogue with Iran. He also gave a compelling reasom to Ex-PM Imran Khan quotting the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Imran Khan’s mediation role also could not be materialised because it was dominated by Russian government and United States was also pointing out fingers on Saudi Arabia to murder of Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.
However, two years back expert level talks on Security and Intelligence issues were held in Iraq which progressed at a snail’s speed. Those talks turned out to be the main reason in breaking the ice between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
