Pakistan mediates Iran-US talks at a sensitive moment in the region, as Field Marshal Asim Munir and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi arrived in Tehran with a delegation on Wednesday, according to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The visit is part of Pakistan’s broader effort to support dialogue between Tehran and Washington.
Upon arrival, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi received Field Marshal Asim Munir, highlighting the diplomatic weight of the visit. The development comes amid heightened regional tensions and continuing attempts to revive engagement between the United States and Iran.
The visit follows recent rounds of talks between Washington and Tehran that did not produce a breakthrough. Pakistan is positioning itself as a facilitator, aiming to reduce tensions and encourage a peaceful outcome through sustained diplomatic engagement.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said messages between the two sides had continued through Pakistan after the latest negotiations failed over the weekend. He stated in a weekly press briefing that several messages had been exchanged since the Iranian delegation returned to Tehran on Sunday.
