Washington: Trump remains in the headlines because of his absurd statements and decisions. Trump, who was proud of the decision to kidnap a President, had a few months ago declared a country that spreads terrorism like Pakistan as an important non-NATO ally. Later it was revealed that all this was the result of the flattering talent of Shahbaz-Munir. America’s own experts are not feeling good about the closeness with Pakistan. Recently, the Gatestone Institute, a New York based think tank, has told what kind of a hypocritical country Pakistan is and how dangerous it can be for America to have relations with it.
Pakistan’s double tactics
The report clearly states that Pakistan should now be seen as an extremely problematic partner instead of a reliable ally.
Reconsideration of Major Non-NATO Ally Status
secretly working against America
The biggest disclosure in the report has been made regarding the 12-day war of June 2025, which Israel and America fought together against Iran. During this war, Pakistan kept aside its MNNA commitments and unconditionally supported Iran.
Diplomatic slap to America?
Soon after the war ended, in August 2025, Iranian President Massoud Pejeshkian chose Pakistan for his first foreign visit, which was a major diplomatic slap to Washington. There was an agreement between the two countries to share intelligence and increase military cooperation. Not only this, Pakistan is helping Iran to be a part of CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor) which is giving birth to a new ‘triangle’ of China, Pakistan and Iran. Pakistan, going against America’s stand, is doing bilateral trade with Iran which is about $2.8 billion and aims to take it to $10 billion in future.
According to the report, Pakistan’s ideology is completely anti-Israel. Pakistan has not recognized Israel till date. Pakistan’s stand on the Gaza issue is completely opposite to America’s stand, which proves that Pakistan is hindering rather than helping American strategies in the Gulf region.
