  • Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir is expected in Tehran on Thursday to advance indirect negotiations as Iran reviews the latest American proposal for a deal.
  • Trump indicated he is willing to wait "a couple of days" for an Iranian response, noting his team was "pretty impressed" by negotiators but emphasized "we have to get the right answers" to prevent war.
