Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir Visits Tehran Amid US-Iran Tensions and Mediation EffortsPreviousNext

Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir visited Tehran on August 24 to engage in high-level talks with Iranian officials amid stalled US-Iran peace negotiations and rising regional tensions. The visit, confirmed by Iran's Foreign Ministry, aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation and promote regional peace. Munir's trip follows a recent call with US President Donald Trump and coincides with anticipated US sanctions on Iran. Pakistan continues its mediation efforts between Washington and Tehran, despite challenges including disputes over the Strait of Hormuz and renewed military confrontations.
