Pakistan is stuck between a rock and a hard place: the vote abstention on the UAE proposed resolution on opening the Strait of Hormuz proves that.
Pakistan’s actions prove it is truly playing a neutral role in the region: it is neither pro/anti-Iran, or pro/anti-Saudi or pro/anti-US. That is the fact.
That is why it gains the respect of all stakeholders in the region to act as the mediator.
Pakistan is truly non-aligned in its approach, when it comes to Iran, Saudi Arabia or the US.
If Pakistan was acting at the behest of Saudi Arabia or the US, it would have been directly involved against Iran. It has made an active effort not to get involved, even though I am sure they must have been given huge financial incentives and possibly other reasons to join the conflict against Iran.
Hence, one can conclude that Pakistan’s non-aligned approach and asking for a ceasefire is truly neutral.
The only country Pakistan is perfectly aligned with China. Iran made a strategic blunder not aligning closer with China, and this is where Iran could have learned from Pakistan. Top Chinese military technology for Iran would have helped Iran significantly for this war, and they would not have incurred as many losses if they had access to the best Chinese technologies.
