The Trump administration is assigning increased intelligence-gathering responsibilities and spy tasks to the Pakistani Army. As part of this strategic move, Pakistan’s Army Chief, General Asim Munir, has been invited by the White House for a lunch meeting with US President Donald Trump. The meeting is set against the backdrop of the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict and speculation of possible US military involvement.
According to sources, around 300 agents from Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) have already been tasked with spying operations along the Iran-Pakistan border, which stretches approximately 909 kilometres. The increased collaboration comes as Pakistan finds itself compelled to align with US interests in order to secure financial support from Bretton Woods institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In doing so, Pakistan is indirectly aiding its traditional adversaries, Israel and the Jewish state, while serving as a strategic pawn for Washington.

Previously, there were reports suggesting that General Munir had been invited to the 250th anniversary celebrations of the US Army, but American officials denied those claims. This lunch meeting with Trump now marks a significant opportunity for Munir to engage directly with the US President after India’s Operation Sindoor that struck terror and military infrastructure of Pakistan.
Notably, just hours before Munir’s expected arrival at the White House, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a phone conversation with President Trump. During the more than 30-minute call, Modi categorically stated that the United States had no role in ending the recent India-Pakistan conflict. He clarified that India’s military action was halted at Pakistan’s request and that New Delhi firmly opposes any third-party mediation on the Kashmir issue.
Modi also briefed Trump on Operation Sindoor, India’s ongoing counter-terrorism campaign. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri later detailed the contents of the conversation, emphasising that Prime Minister Modi urged all nations to adopt a unified stance against terrorism.

The conversation served as a direct rebuttal to President Trump’s earlier claims that his intervention had helped bring peace between India and Pakistan, and that he was willing to mediate on Kashmir. Modi, however, has firmly rejected both assertions.
The developments highlight Pakistan’s increasing dependence on the United States for both strategic and economic survival. Its reliance on IMF and World Bank aid, coupled with growing intelligence cooperation, places it firmly under US control. Driven by a persistent fear of India’s regional dominance, Pakistan continues to act as a subordinate player in America’s geopolitical agenda.
