Pakistan says significant progress made in talks on Iran-US war

What the report says

Pakistan said it made significant progress in Tehran during talks aimed at reducing tensions in the Iran-US conflict, according to Al Jazeera. The discussions took place on Monday during a daylong diplomatic visit by Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi. The Pakistani military said the mission was part of efforts to break the stalemate in the conflict and pursue a lasting end to instability in the region.

According to the report, Munir met with several senior Iranian figures, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei. The agenda reportedly included steps to prevent further escalation, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and speeding up an end to the war. Naqvi said on social media that both sides reviewed what would be needed to restore an interim framework known as the “Islamabad MoU,” which Pakistan had helped mediate.

Naqvi said the talks were constructive and ended positively, while Iranian media quoted Pezeshkian as urging Washington to change its approach toward Tehran. Al Jazeera also noted that the diplomatic effort comes amid renewed pressure from the Trump administration on countries supporting Iran and Iranian threats to disrupt Gulf oil exports. The report suggests Pakistan is trying to play a mediating role at a sensitive moment for regional security and energy flows.
