Iran Accuses Pakistan of ‘Double Game’, Targets Army Chief Asim Munir (X@FrontalForce)
New Delhi: A new sourness has emerged in the relations between Iran and Pakistan. Iran's state media has openly attacked Pakistan and accused it of playing a "double game" in the US-Iran talks. The special thing is that Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir has also been directly mentioned in this criticism. This statement has come at a time when efforts for dialogue between the two countries have already come to a standstill.
Such a public and direct accusation from Iran is rarely seen. During the TV debate, questions were raised on Pakistan's role, which clearly indicated that Tehran is now in a mood to speak openly on this issue.
Iran says that on one hand Pakistan is seen standing with America, while on the other hand it is also talking to Iran by calling itself a mediator. Tehran is considering this as a double standard and saying that this is weakening its position.
According to reports, Iran had sent its proposals to America through Pakistan, but no response was received. The Iranian side alleges that America's new conditions are being put forward by ignoring their 10-point proposal.

Analysts in Tehran believe that Pakistan is no longer neutral. They allege that in the name of mediation, he is advancing America's interests, which is spoiling the balance of the talks.
The effect of this entire incident is visible inside Pakistan also. There are reports of resentment among the Shia community, handling which has become a big challenge for the government and the army.
Iran has made it clear that it is not backing down from talks but will not make any compromise under pressure. Tehran says that if conditions and threats continue, the talks will not move forward.
The US has continued its naval activities around Iranian ports despite the ceasefire. Iran is calling it a violation of the agreement and considering it an act of provocation.
Looking at the situation, it can be said that the talks are currently stuck. Both sides are talking about talks, but distance remains on the ground and there are no signs of any concrete result.
The increasing rhetoric between Iran and Pakistan shows that trust is decreasing. If the situation remains like this, not only the talks but also the regional equations may be affected.
