00:00relaying messages i mean is the role being played by pakistan entirely administrative
00:06in that sense as a go-between or do you get the impression that pakistan is also offering
00:11some sort of advice here so um i wouldn't say that pakistan is playing an advisory role you know
00:20it's a very precarious situation it is a very slippery slope in terms of uh regional alliances
00:28pakistan has good connection with the u.s pakistan has absolutely great connections and relations
00:34with the saudis with the gulf countries and and pakistan also has a relationship with iran so
00:40pakistan is you know treading very carefully uh so far pakistan has been able to maintain a
00:48certain level of neutrality in terms of helping out in terms of condemning the strikes by israel on iran
00:54but also condemning the strikes in saudi arabia and other gulf countries so i wouldn't say that
00:59there has been any sort of advisory role but pakistan has explicitly and openly said and
01:03communicated it to the to the to the iranians and even americans that pakistan want uh de-escalation
01:11and then into hostilities in fact before this uh war broke up uh before this war broke out
01:17pakistan's defense minister he had uh clearly communicated it to iran that pakistan as a
01:23defense pact with the saudis so pakistan has an obligation to stand with the saudis so
01:28uh i wouldn't say there's any advisory role but pakistan is spreading very carefully because there
01:35are a lot of relationships that pakistan has to manage
