March 25, 2026
As Pakistan becomes a central figure in the ongoing war between the United States and Iran, the country itself is not shielded from the consequences of the West Asia conflict. According to local reports, the fuel prices in Pakistan are surging so much that the government there is considering unfreezing prices of some petroleum products.Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Tuesday in a social media post that the country was "ready" to be the host to facilitate talks between Iran and the US. While the entire world looks for signs of de-escalation between the two countries engaged in a war, along with Israel which is backing the US, a stop to the war is also in high interest of Pakistan.
