  "summary": "Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir, is visiting Tehran amid rising tensions between Iran and the United States. According to the Daily Times, Munir will discuss regional security and recent developments with Iranian officials. The visit comes as Washington prepares new economic measures against Tehran, which has warned of potential major retaliation.\n\nThe US-Iran tensions are also affecting other diplomatic efforts in the region. The Iranian foreign ministry has announced that Oman's Foreign Minister, Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, is expected to visit Tehran to discuss bilateral cooperation and the Strait of Hormuz.\n\nThe US-Iran conflict is also expected to be a topic of discussion at the 18th BRICS Summit, which India will host next month. According to SABC News, leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa will attend the summit, but divisions over the conflict may overshadow the talks.",
