US, Iran nearing 'some sort of an arrangement', Pakistan's defense minister says - report
Khawaja Asif added that he believed that a long-term peace agreement would benefit the Middle East.
Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has reported that the United States and Iran are nearing an agreement, according to a Bloomberg News report. Asif stated that recent signals suggest they are close to reaching a deal, which would benefit the Middle East in the long term. This comes amid US President Donald Trump's demands for Iran to compensate the United States for American citizens killed or injured in attacks orchestrated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as well as families of Iranian protesters and those killed in conflicts.
Trump also demanded compensation for the families of over 52,000 innocent protestors killed in Iran over the past 50 years. Asif assured that his government is working to include such compensation demands in any future negotiations.
