Pakistan and Iran made "significant progress" in talks focused on the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and a path to peace, Pakistan's interior minister said Tuesday after a visit to Tehran. The talks covered measures to prevent further escalation, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and expediting conflict termination, according to a Pakistani military statement about army chief Asim Munir's meeting with Iranian leadership. Both sides exchanged views on regional peace and negotiated settlement. Munir spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump before his Tehran visit. Trump has warned of economic consequences for countries providing a "lifeline to Iran," while Iran vowed to shut down Gulf oil exports.
