Imran says Trump, MBS wants him to be Iran intermediary

United Nations: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that US President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman have asked him to be an intermediary with Iran.
“President Trump asked me that if we could de-escalate the situation (with Iran) and maybe come up with another deal,” he told reporters here on Tuesday.
“I immediately spoke to President (Hassan) Rouhani yesterday (Monday), after the meeting with President Trump. But right now I can’t anything more than this except that we are trying and mediating.” He added that the Crown Prince has “also asked me to talk to the Iranian President” about de-escalating the situation.
Already, because of Pakistan’s patronage of the Taliban, Khan is being seen as an influential player in Trump’s attempts to make a deal with the militant group so he could bring back the American troops stationed in Afghanistan as he had pledged during his election campaign.
A role with Iran could add to Khan’s influence with Trump.
