Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, travels to Tehran for talks with Iranian authorities as Islamabad continues efforts to mediate between the United States and Iran. Iranian media outlets, reported by multiple international sources, confirm his arrival and ongoing meetings with senior Iranian officials. Several outlets describe the visit as part of wider diplomatic activity aimed at easing tensions and advancing discussions over ending the conflict. At the same time, Iran is portrayed as reviewing or considering a new U.S. proposal to end the war. Coverage also notes public statements by U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting negotiations are close to a deal, alongside warnings about the talks’ precariousness. One outlet reports that Iranian messages are “mixed” and indicates that Pakistani mediators depart after holding multiple meetings. A number of sources frame Munir’s role as increasingly significant in Pakistan’s foreign engagement. Overall, the reporting aligns on the central point that Munir’s Tehran trip is intended to sustain or progress “talks and consultations” between Tehran and Washington, as both sides weigh proposals and attempt to move toward an agreement.
