Tehran – Pakistan has significantly accelerated its efforts to end the ongoing war tension and diplomatic deadlock between Iran and the United States, while Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir has arrived in Tehran on an important visit where he will hold talks with the Iranian leadership on the security situation in the region.
According to the ISPR, Field Marshal Asim Munir was received by Iranian Interior Minister Eskandhar Momeni upon his arrival in Tehran. Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi was also present on the occasion; he has visited Iran for the second time in the past one week.
Diplomatic sources say that the main objective of the army chief’s visit to Iran is to reactivate the negotiation process between Iran and the United States, consolidate the ceasefire and prevent a possible major conflict in the Middle East. According to sources, the Pakistani leadership is playing a key role in conveying messages and building trust between the two countries.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also acknowledged Pakistan’s role and said that Washington is constantly in touch with Pakistan. He told Fox News that Pakistan is the primary mediator in the Iran issue and has played a very effective diplomatic role.
According to analysts, Pakistan’s role has become even more important at this time because negotiations between Iran and the United States have stalled on several sensitive issues. These include Iran’s nuclear program, economic sanctions, tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, concerns about Israel and the activities of armed groups in the region.
Iran has made it clear that any agreement requires the United States to restore Iranian assets, lift port sanctions and guarantee that it will not take military action in the future. On the other hand, the United States is demanding that Iran limit its nuclear activities and end its support for its allied groups in the region.
The direct talks held in Islamabad last month were considered a significant breakthrough. Although no final agreement could be reached in this round of talks, both sides had expressed their willingness to continue diplomatic contacts. Later, the planned visit of US Special Representative Steve Witkoff and Advisor Jared Kushner to Islamabad was postponed, but it was announced that the ceasefire would be maintained indefinitely.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has also confirmed that new proposals have been received from the US, which Tehran is reviewing. Iranian officials say that all diplomatic channels are still open and negotiations are essential to save the region from further destruction.
The ongoing crisis in the Middle East has also affected the global economy. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have increased uncertainty in oil shipments, maritime trade and global energy markets. European countries and world powers are seeking an immediate ceasefire and diplomatic solution to restore stability in the region.
According to political observers, Pakistan’s current diplomatic strategy is not only considered important for peace in the region, but it has also increased Islamabad’s diplomatic importance on the global stage.
