- Pakistan allowed Iran to park military aircraft at Nur Khan Airbase.
- Pakistan kept its mediator role in the US‑Iran conflict while providing the airfield as refuge.
Why it matters: Iran gains a protected base for its aircraft, reducing exposure to U.S. attacks; the U.S. loses a clear target, while Pakistan risks alienating Washington and compromising its mediator credibility.
