Pakistan stepped up diplomatic efforts Thursday to bring Iran and the U.S. back to the negotiating table as Tehran examined a new proposal to end Washington's war.
As part of Islamabad's mediating role, Military Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir was due in Iran Thursday, Iranian media reported.
The visit by Munir, a powerful figure with a growing role in Pakistan's foreign relations, comes a day after President Donald Trump warned that negotiations to end the war were on the "borderline" between a deal and renewed strikes.
A cease-fire on April 8 halted the war launched weeks earlier by the U.S. and Israel, but negotiation efforts have so far failed to yield a lasting peace agreement.
A war of words has taken the place of open conflict, but the impasse continues to weigh on the world economy, leaving everyone from investors to farmers in a painful state of uncertainty.
