What Happened
Pakistani officials expect a major breakthrough in US-Iran nuclear talks as Army Chief Asim Munir delivers messages between Washington and Tehran. The delegation seeks to resolve disputes over Iran's uranium enrichment duration and 440-kilogram highly enriched uranium stockpile. Key sticking points include a five to twenty-year enrichment freeze and the Strait of Hormuz control. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif simultaneously tours Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey to build regional support for potential peace agreement.
