US President Donald Trump has backed Pakistan's role as a mediator between the United States and Iran, contradicting Senator Lindsey Graham's earlier remarks that he does not trust Pakistan.
Graham had questioned Pakistan's involvement in the peace talks after reports emerged that Iranian aircraft were operating from Pakistani territory.
However, Trump praised Pakistan's efforts, saying that the country's leaders have been "absolutely great" in their role as mediators.
The US-Iran peace talks remain stalled, with Trump rejecting Iran's latest proposal as "completely unacceptable and weak."
