DUBAI/WASHINGTON, May 21 – Pakistan stepped up diplomatic efforts on Thursday to hasten U.S. and Iran peace talks, as Tehran said it was reviewing Washington’s latest responses and ​President Donald Trump suggested he could wait a few days for “the right answers” from Tehran but was also willing to resume attacks on the country.

Six weeks since ‌a fragile ceasefire took effect, talks to end the war have made little progress, while soaring oil prices have raised concern over inflation and the impact on the global economy.
