State media: Pakistan army chief travels to Tehran
Pakistani army chief Asim Munir, who is acting as a mediator in the Iran war, is expected in Tehran on Thursday. Munir will continue “talks and consultations” with the Iranian authorities, the Iranian news agency Isna reported. Further details about the content of the meetings were not known.
The government in Tehran says it is currently examining a new US proposal to end the Iran war. There has been a fragile ceasefire in Iran’s conflict with the USA and Israel since April 8th. However, the negotiations on a final end to the violent clashes brokered by Pakistan have so far failed to produce a breakthrough.
The USA and Israel began the Iran War at the end of February with attacks on the Islamic Republic. In response, Tehran attacked targets in Israel and neighboring countries in the region and largely blocked the Strait of Hormuz off its coast, which is important for global trade. The USA, for its part, is blocking Iranian ports.
