President Donald Trump met Pakistan’s army chief Wednesday in Washington as the US considers supporting Israeli airstrikes on Iran, a country with a cooperative and complex relationship with the government in Islamabad.

Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said on Monday Islamabad had not engaged in any new military cooperation with Tehran since Israel launched attacks on Iran last week and had not held specific talks with the United States over the escalating crisis in the Middle East.

India and the US are at odds over Trump's claim of mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Modi clarified the ceasefire was achieved through direct military talks, not US intervention.
