\"\"Islamabad: Former president of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and ex- ambassador Sardar Masood Khan has said that Pakistan\u2019s decisive diplomatic intervention helped halt a dangerous 40-day conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, preventing a potential regional and global war.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, in a statement in Islamabad, Masood Khan said that the outcome, increasingly being referred to as the \u201cIslamabad Accords,\u201d reflects Pakistan\u2019s emergence as a credible peacemaker and a net stability provider at a moment of unprecedented geopolitical volatility.<\/p>\n

He noted that as the conflict intensified among major powers, Pakistan remained actively engaged in shuttle diplomacy, maintaining contact with all key stakeholders including Tehran, Washington, and Gulf capitals. He said these sustained efforts, supported by major international actors including China, Russia, and European partners, helped create the conditions necessary for a ceasefire and opened a pathway to structured negotiations.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Khan cautioned that conflicts of such magnitude often expand beyond their initial scope, citing historical precedents where limited congrontations spiraled into prolonged global crises. In this instance, he said, timely diplomatic intervention by Pakistan curtailed further escalation and prevented deeper involvement by additional global and regional powers, thereby safeguarding the fragile stability of the Middle East.<\/p>\n

He added that the ceasefire, though temporary, provides a vital opportunity for addressing complex issues through dialogue, expressing hope that continued engagement will lead to lasting peace and stability for the region and beyond. He also emphasized that Pakistan\u2019s intervention not only prevented military escalation but also mitigated severe economic repercussions globally.<\/p>\n

Masood Khan further observed that Pakistan\u2019s diplomacy has garnered widespread international confidence, positioning the country as a central facilitator for upcoming direct negotiations between the United States and Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
