Ritter described Pakistan as “the only game in town” capable of helping bring the crisis toward a final resolution.
Former UN weapons inspector and former US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter praised Pakistan’s diplomatic role in current regional tensions and said Islamabad remains central to efforts aimed at securing a breakthrough between Iran and the US.
Speaking during chief presenter Fahd Hussain’s ‘Full Frame’ show on Express 24/7, Ritter described Pakistan as “the only game in town” capable of helping bring the crisis towards a final resolution.
“First of all, I want to congratulate Pakistan for the leadership it has played in this,” Ritter said, adding that Pakistan’s leadership deserved international recognition for its mediation efforts. “If ever there was anyone who deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, it is the Pakistani leadership that has played this essential role,” he commented.
Ritter, who worked as a U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq during the 1990s and frequently comments on U.S. foreign policy and Middle East affairs, urged the international community to support Pakistan economically and politically after the conflict.
