Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan’s army chief, concluded a visit to Tehran on Saturday after meetings with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, and Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi.

The discussions focused on efforts to revive stalled US-Iran negotiations following weeks of conflict that disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and affected global energy markets.

Key developments included:

  • Iran warned against renewed US military action during the fragile ceasefire.
  • Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, said “some progress” had been made toward a peaceful resolution.
  • Reports from US media suggested the White House was reviewing potential military options, though no final decision had been taken.

Iranian officials reiterated Tehran’s position that it would continue defending its “national rights” while pursuing diplomacy.
