ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON: Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir has reportedly contacted U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss rising concerns over disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy and trade route, according to a Reuters report.
The communication highlighted that ongoing tensions and reported blockades in the Strait of Hormuz could create significant obstacles for diplomatic negotiations currently involving regional and international stakeholders.
