Pakistani army chief visits Iran to revive US negotiations

Pakistan’s army chief, Asim Munir, has arrived in Iran for high-level talks aimed at reviving negotiations between Tehran and the United States. The visit comes as Iran warns it could halt trade across key waterways if a US naval blockade on its ports continues.

This diplomatic engagement positions Pakistan as a potential mediator in the strained relations between Iran and the US. With Iran threatening to disrupt trade routes, the stakes are high for regional stability. Munir's visit could enhance Pakistan's influence in the geopolitical landscape, especially as the US seeks to navigate its relationship with Iran amid ongoing tensions.

What to watch: The outcomes of Munir's discussions in Tehran and any subsequent responses from the US and Iran regarding trade and military presence in the region.
