Pakistan Army Chief Holds Talks with Iran’s Parliament Speaker

Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir met with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf in Tehran on Thursday morning.

Field Marshal Munir, who arrived in the Iranian capital on Wednesday, is heading a high-level political-security delegation that includes representatives from Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry, security institutions, and technical experts.

The primary purpose of the delegation’s visit is to relay the US message and to plan the framework for a possible second round of negotiations between Tehran and Washington.

Islamabad is emerging as the likely venue for these future discussions, following the failure of the first round of talks in Islamabad to produce an agreement over the weekend.

Earlier on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed that Tehran would host the Pakistani delegation, emphasizing that the indirect exchange of messages between Iran and the United States continues.

“Following the talks that took place in Islamabad, and also the discussions that the Pakistani side has had with the United States, our views have been conveyed and heard,” Baghaei said. “Naturally, during this visit, the two sides are expected to discuss their viewpoints in detail.”

This diplomatic push comes as a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States, successfully brokered by Pakistan, remains in effect. The truce was implemented after 40 days of fierce fighting that began on February 28, when the United States and Israel launched a war of aggression against Iran.

The aggression included the assassination of then-Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, as well as strikes on nuclear facilities, schools, hospitals, and civilian infrastructure.

In response to the unprovoked attacks, Iran’s armed forces launched 100 waves of retaliatory strikes under Operation True Promise 4.

The operation saw the launch of hundreds of ballistic and hypersonic missiles, alongside drones, targeting American military bases across West Asia and Israeli positions throughout the occupied territories.
