Pakistan is intensifying diplomatic efforts to get stalled US-Iran peace talks back on track, Reuters reports, with both Washington and Tehran continuing to signal uncertainty over next steps. Tehran says it is reviewing the latest responses from the United States, while President Donald Trump says he may wait a few days for “the right answers” from Tehran but also indicates he is willing to resume attacks. The reporting highlights that peace talks to end the war have made limited progress about six weeks after a fragile ceasefire took effect. Rising oil prices are adding pressure, with concerns about inflation and broader global economic effects.
Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir is set to decide on whether to travel to Tehran as part of the mediation, according to three negotiation sources familiar with the process. Pakistan’s interior minister was in Tehran on Wednesday, and Pakistan is also speaking with different Iranian groups to streamline communication. The efforts come as Trump faces domestic political pressure ahead of November’s midterm elections, with his approval rating declining amid fuel price concerns.
