Pakistani army chief visits Tehran in hopes for renewed talks between U.S. and Iran
CAIRO — Pakistan’s army chief is set to meet with Iranian officials in Tehran on Thursday in a bid to extend the cease-fire which paused almost seven weeks of war between Israel, the U.S. and Iran that have killed thousands of people and upended global markets by disrupting the flow of oil. Uncertainty remains whether the frantic diplomacy can lead to a deal as the cease-fire passes the half-way mark in the original two-week agreement.
