White House Shaped Pakistan's Public Plea to Trump on Iran

The White House helped draft a public message from Pakistan's prime minister to U.S. President Donald Trump, according to sources. The message was a plea on the social media platform X. It asked President Trump to extend his Tuesday evening deadline for Iran. Officials say U.S. and Pakistani authorities discussed the post before it was sent. This reveals direct U.S. involvement in shaping a foreign leader's public diplomacy. The incident occurred during a period of high tension between the U.S. and Iran. The Pakistani prime minister's account posted the request, tagging President Trump. The post urged an extension to "avoid a conflict" in the region. The White House had prior knowledge of its content. This coordination shows how nations sometimes use public platforms for private diplomacy.
