Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir, is expected to visit Tehran on Monday as Islamabad steps up its efforts to promote peace and security in the region, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Sunday.
Two Pakistani government sources confirmed the visit to Reuters, saying Iran and Pakistan have been maintaining direct contact. The discussions are expected to focus on efforts to end the conflict between Iran and the United States, as well as recent developments in the region.
Pakistan has taken on a mediating role in negotiations between Tehran and Washington aimed at bringing an end to the war, which began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran in February.
According to one Pakistani source, Munir is expected to discuss Islamabad’s peace memorandum of understanding, US President Donald Trump’s warning of tougher sanctions against Iran, the recent Pakistan-Türkiye-Saudi Arabia defence agreement and issues involving Yemen’s Houthi movement.
The visit comes as tensions continue to rise between Iran and the United States. Washington has threatened to impose what US officials describe as the “toughest sanctions in history” against Tehran.
Trump has also warned that countries providing Iran with economic support could face consequences as his administration seeks to further isolate the Islamic Republic.
Meanwhile, oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz have largely come to a standstill. Iran has warned that it could strike unauthorised oil tankers attempting to pass through the strategic waterway.
The escalating tensions and sanctions have placed additional pressure on Iran’s already struggling economy.
