The The New York Times has reported that the United States and Iran have moved close to an agreement, in which Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir played a key role.
According to the report, the Field Marshal’s recent visit to Iran represented high-level diplomacy. Despite progress, however, fundamental differences still remain, and no breakthrough has yet been achieved regarding Iran’s uranium enrichment program.
