Washington’s message, according to a senior official cited by the Arab network, was conveyed through Pakistan’s Field Marshal, Asim Munir. In exchange for easing measures against Iran, the US requested the reopening of the sea route and an end to military actions by groups operating as Tehran’s allies or proxies in the region.
Major General Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, reportedly informed Munir that Iranian authorities would continue consultations domestically and communicate their position soon.
Meanwhile, Mehdi Tabatabai, an adviser for communications in the Office of the Iranian President, said on the X platform that Asim Munir’s visit to Iran was “highly constructive” and produced “extremely important diplomatic results.” He added that these results would be made public soon, rejecting what he described as inaccurate speculation in the media.
Iranian news agency IRNA, citing a statement from the Pakistani army’s press office, reported that Munir officially met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni.
The Pakistani army’s statement said the discussions covered a wide range of issues, including steps to prevent a further escalation of tensions, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and accelerating the end of the conflict.
During the meetings, the parties also discussed peace in the region and ways to resolve disputes through dialogue.
The Pakistani army also said that Iranian officials expressed “their gratitude for Islamabad’s constructive role and its sincere efforts to facilitate dialogue, reduce tensions and achieve a peaceful resolution to the conflict.”
