A high-level Pakistani delegation, led by Army Chief Asim Munir, is in Iran to facilitate new negotiations between Iran and the US. This comes as a ceasefire is set to expire on April 22. Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi is also involved in the mediation efforts. The urgency is heightened by ongoing tensions from US and Iranian sea blockades. Optimistic comments from US President Donald Trump suggest progress, with indications that additional talks may occur in Islamabad to extend the ceasefire and work towards a deal.
