Pakistan’s army chief attempts to broker Iran peace talks in call with Trump
AI Summary
Pakistan is attempting to mediate peace talks between the US and Iran to end the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has offered Islamabad as a venue for negotiations, potentially as early as this week. Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, discussed the conflict with Donald Trump, and Sharif spoke with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian about de-escalation. While Pakistan has expressed its readiness to host talks, neither the US nor Iran has formally agreed, and Iran has dismissed reports of talks as "fake news." Iran has indicated a preference for Islamabad as a venue but has expressed distrust in Washington and rejected Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner as potential US negotiators.
