Pakistan Army Chief Visits Tehran to Mediate US-Iran Talks Amid Ongoing Tensions
Pakistan's army chief is visiting Tehran to facilitate renewed negotiations between the US and Iran, following nearly seven weeks of conflict. The visit aims to arrange a second round of talks after initial discussions in Islamabad helped narrow differences. The US continues its naval blockade of Iranian ports, with new economic sanctions planned to increase pressure on Iran. Despite these tensions, there is reported progress towards extending the current ceasefire, which is set to expire soon. The conflict has significantly impacted global markets, with disruptions in oil flow and heightened economic uncertainty.
