Pakistan’s Chief of Defence Forces and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir is due to visit Tehran on Tuesday, according to a Pakistani official and Iranian media. The trip is reported by multiple outlets, including Dawn, Cyprus Mail, Al-Monitor (citing Reuters), and Middle East Eye (citing Iran’s Tasnim news agency).
Outlets say the visit follows earlier discussions between Munir and Iranian leaders in the summer. Those talks focused on measures to prevent further escalation in the region and on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Cyprus Mail adds that Pakistan has played a mediating role between the United States and Iran this year. Al-Monitor and Dawn frame the trip primarily as part of ongoing efforts to manage tensions, without detailing specific outcomes of the upcoming visit.
