This development comes as the powerful army chief of staff, General Syed Asim Munir, reportedly held direct communications with US President Donald Trump to facilitate a resolution. The proposed talks in Islamabad signal growing international concern over
the intensifying hostilities in the Middle East. Bloomberg's report portrays Pakistan as a neutral arbiter, seeking to 'end the US-Israeli war against Iran.'
