Pakistan Army: Major Progress in Islamabad-Tehran Talks on the War

On Tuesday, Pakistan's interior minister said at the end of a visit to Tehran that the two countries had achieved "major progress" in talks centered on the US-Israeli war against Iran and a path toward peace.

A statement issued by the Pakistani military regarding the meeting between army chief Asim Munir and Iranian leadership stated that discussions between the two sides focused on measures to prevent further escalation, reopen the "Hormuz" strait, and end the conflict as quickly as possible.

The statement added that both sides exchanged views on regional peace and ways to achieve a resolution to the conflict through negotiation.

Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsen Noghi, who accompanied Munir to Tehran, posted on platform X: "The Iranian president shared his government's position candidly, and we held highly constructive discussions on relevant issues."

Reuters reported on Monday that Munir had spoken with US President Donald Trump before visiting Tehran.

Trump had recently warned of economic consequences against any country providing "any form of vital support" to Iran, as part of his effort to isolate the country. In response, Tehran pledged to halt all oil exports from the Gulf.
