A US-based think tank has cautioned President Donald Trump against placing trust in Pakistan, citing its past role in Afghanistan and concerns over the country's military leadership.
Field Marshal Asim Munir's ties to the IRGC should be a red flag for the Trump administration, according to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
The warning comes as Trump has entrusted Pakistan with brokering a ceasefire between the US and Iran, with the two sides exploring a possible agreement ahead of an April 22 deadline.
Pakistan's army chief has presented proposals to Tehran, but Iran has yet to respond formally, stressing that further negotiations depend on the US dropping 'excessive demands'.
