Till a few days ago, Trump was threatening to waif bombs on Iran. Then suddenly he became soft. It was said that the Gulf countries had requested that the fighting should not spread to the unshortened area, hence the military whoopee was stopped. On the other hand, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir moreover came to Iran. Pakistan described the visit as a "big success" and said peace talks had moved forward.
What does Iran have to say?
