Pakistan Mediates US-Iran Peace Talks as US Envoy Seeks Mining Cooperation

Pakistan is renewing efforts to mediate a peace deal between the United States and Iran, with US envoy Rubio reporting 'slight progress' in the talks. The US is pinning hopes on Pakistan as a mediator to end the Iran war, and CDF Asim Munir's recent dash to Iran has fueled hopes for an interim deal. Pakistan seeks a breakthrough in the US-Iran peace talks, while also engaging with the US on mining sector cooperation. However, one headline notes that there will be no talks with Pakistan for talks' sake, and first terms must be set.
