Pakistani journalist Nazam Sethi has accused President Donald Trump of betraying Pakistan by allegedly undermining diplomatic efforts to open the Strait of Hormuz. Sethi claimed that Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir had been attempting to persuade Iran to reopen the strategic waterway, but Trump's actions threw those efforts "in a garbage bin." The accusation comes amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran over the naval blockade and recent seizures of Iranian vessels. This represents a significant criticism from a Pakistani perspective about U.S. foreign policy in the region.
