Pakistan Army Chief Visits Tehran for De-Escalation Talks Amid US-Iran Tensions

Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir arrived in Tehran on Monday for de-escalation talks amid the ongoing US-Iran conflict, marking his fourth visit since hostilities began. He was received by Iran’s Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni, highlighting high-level engagement between the two nations. The visit underscores Pakistan’s continued diplomatic push to prevent further escalation, with regional security and de-escalation pathways expected to dominate discussions with senior Iranian officials. Islamabad has positioned itself as a mediator, calling for dialogue alongside parallel efforts from Qatar, China, and Egypt. Munir’s trip follows preparatory calls with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and recent visits by Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, reflecting intensified diplomacy since US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier this year.
