Pakistan Mediates US-Iran Peace Talks

Field Marshal Asim Munir has emerged as a central figure in the efforts to end the seven-week war in the Middle East.

Munir met with top Iranian officials to iron out differences over nuclear enrichment and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

While a formal extension of the truce has not been signed, both Washington and Tehran have signaled a desire to avoid a return to active combat.

Pakistan's shuttle diplomacy is seen as a vital channel for communication as the initial two-week ceasefire deadline approaches.
