Pakistan’s Nobel Peace Prize proposal is gaining international attention after former Italian prime minister Paolo Gentiloni backed the idea of recognising the country for its reported diplomatic role in easing tensions between the United States and Iran.
The support comes after Islamabad was credited with helping facilitate a ceasefire between Washington and Tehran following weeks of rising hostilities. According to the source text, Pakistan’s intervention created space for dialogue at a time when the region faced the risk of broader conflict.
International reaction has largely been positive, with several stakeholders praising Pakistan for helping open a diplomatic path during a volatile period. Supporters argue the country played a constructive role when tensions were running high.
Key Pakistani leaders, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff Syed Asim Munir, have been highlighted in discussions about the mediation effort. Backers say their leadership helped prevent further escalation and supported a diplomatic outcome.

Paolo Gentiloni’s endorsement has added weight to the growing calls for international recognition of Pakistan’s reported contribution. His remarks reinforce the view among supporters that Islamabad played a meaningful role in stabilising a dangerous situation.
The source text says the ceasefire was widely believed to have been achieved through sustained behind-the-scenes engagement by Pakistan. That effort, it adds, helped bring both sides closer to negotiations after more than a month of tension.
Pakistan’s role may not end with the ceasefire. The source text says Islamabad is also emerging as a potential venue for future diplomatic talks between US and Iranian officials, suggesting the country could continue to shape efforts toward regional stability.
That possibility strengthens Pakistan’s image as an active diplomatic player in a sensitive geopolitical moment. It also helps explain why calls for formal recognition are gaining momentum.
