Iran’s foreign minister arrives in Pakistan, Trump expects offer satisfying US demands

# Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araqchi arrived in Pakistan on Friday to discuss proposals for restarting peace talks with the US, in the hope of ending the eight-week war that has killed thousands and sown turmoil in global markets. US President Donald Trump earlier told Reuters that Iran ‌plans to make an offer but said he did not know what it entailed. After a US bombing campaign and Iran’s blocking of the Strait of Hormuz, the two countries are at a costly impasse, with Iran’s oil exports blocked and US gasoline prices at multi-year highs.
