Trump made a phone call to Munir, there was a serious discussion on opening the Strait of Hormuz.
New Delhi: Iran has flatly refused to negotiate with America. Iran says America cannot be trusted. Meanwhile, Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir called US President Donald Trump and told him the entire situation and asked for help.
Iran is not listening to Pakistan
According to media reports, Pakistan is fully ready for the second round of talks, but no positive signal is being received from Iran. According to sources, Asim Munir recently visited Tehran, where he discussed in detail with the Iranian leadership. Now there was a plan to hold the meeting in Islamabad.
But after Iran’s announcement of ‘non-coming’, the Pakistani Army Chief has lost his sweat. Munir told Trump that the American blockade on the Strait of Hormuz has become the biggest obstacle to talks. Pakistan is trying to create an environment of trust between the two sides, but this is becoming difficult due to Iran’s stance.
Special conversation between Trump and Munir
Let us tell you that Pakistani Army General Asim Munir directly requested Trump on phone to consider removing or reducing the ongoing blockade on Hormuz. This will allow the conversation to move forward. Sources say that Trump has assured to consider this advice of Munir. However, the American blockade on the Strait of Hormuz still remains intact.
Iran’s tough stance
During this entire episode, Iran alleges that America is not serious in diplomacy and is not fulfilling the pre-conditions. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bagai clearly said, “There are no plans for the next round of talks right now.” He said that America’s attitude is not positive, that is why Iran is not moving forward.
Iran has placed a condition that America should first lift its blockade. Meanwhile, the US Navy captured an Iranian ship named ‘Touska’, which was trying to break the blockade. Iran again closed the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday in response. He says that until America does not lift the ban on Iranian ports, it will not open the way.
increased pressure on pakistan
It is noteworthy that this whole matter is raising questions on the credibility of Pakistan. Pakistan wants to play the role of mediator between the two countries, but Iran’s stubbornness and America’s tough stance are making it challenging. Trump had said that the American delegation could reach the capital tomorrow, but no firm date or confirmation of the talks has been made yet.
