Pakistan and Iran made 'significant progress'

Pakistan and Iran made "significant progress" in talks that focused on the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and a path to peace.



Pakistan's interior minister said on Tuesday, talks between the two sides focused on measures to prevent further escalation, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an expedited termination of the conflict.



. The two sides also exchanged views on regional peace and the way to arrive at a negotiated settlement to the dispute.



"The Iranian President candidly shared his government's perspective and we had a very constructive exchange on the issues involved," Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said.



Trump last week warned of economic consequences against any country that provided "any type of lifeline to Iran" as he seeks to isolate the country. Iran in turn vowed to shut down all oil exports from the Gulf.
