Pakistan and Iran say they have made “significant progress” in talks aimed at ending a wider U.S.-Israeli conflict involving Iran and reducing the risk of escalation. Pakistan’s interior minister, Mohsin Naqvi, makes the statement after Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, meets Iranian leadership during a visit to Tehran, according to Reuters and statements cited by multiple outlets.
The talks focus on steps to prevent further escalation, an expedited pathway to end the conflict, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Outlets describe the discussions as also addressing regional peace and how to reach a negotiated settlement to the dispute. Naqvi says the Iranian president shares the government’s perspective and that the exchange is “constructive.” Reuters-linked reporting notes that the White House and the U.S. State Department do not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Across the sources, the shared emphasis is the progress claim and the specific areas of focus—de-escalation, Hormuz access, and an accelerated end to hostilities—while outlets provide limited detail on concrete measures or timelines beyond the minister’s comments.
