Pakistan Repatriates Citizens Held on US-Seized Ships, FM Dar Confirms

🚢 ISLAMABAD — Pakistan pulls its nationals out while keeping its options in. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Islamabad quietly extracting citizens from US-seized vessels signals Pakistan is distancing from direct Hormuz exposure without formally choosing sides. As a former mediator, any Pakistani nationals on impounded ships created diplomatic liability. Dar going public suggests the repatriation is complete — and that Islamabad wants credit for managing it cleanly. Watch whether Tehran reads this as Pakistan drifting toward Washington.
