Pakistan failed to secure significant US aid during the Iran conflict despite playing a peacemaker role, unlike during the Soviet-Afghan War and post-9/11. The country's geography, once a source of strategic rent, now attracts strategic risk and financial outflows.
Pakistan's role in the Iran conflict has not yielded significant US aid, unlike its involvement in the Soviet-Afghan War and post-9/11. During the Soviet-Afghan War, Pakistan received $20-27 billion in aid, equivalent to $60-85 billion today. After 9/11, Pakistan received over $13 billion in military and economic aid. In contrast, the recent Iran conflict has led to a $5.7 billion outflow from Pakistan. The country's geography, once a valuable asset, now poses strategic risks and financial outflows. Pakistan's experience highlights the changing dynamics of geopolitical aid and the country's shifting role in regional conflicts.
