  "summary": "Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, made a call to US President Donald Trump last week, according to sources in Pakistan. The content of their conversation is not known. This call occurred before Munir's visit to Tehran, where he was expected to discuss regional security and recent developments with Iranian officials.\n\nMunir's visit to Tehran comes at a time of heightened tensions between Iran and the US, with Washington preparing to impose new economic sanctions on Tehran. Iran has warned that further economic pressure could lead to significant retaliation.\n\nIn related diplomatic efforts, Oman's Foreign Minister, Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, was set to visit Tehran, according to the Iranian foreign ministry. The trip aimed to strengthen bilateral cooperation and promote peace and stability in the region, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz.",
