Pakistan's Army Chief to visit Tehran for Iran-U.S. war mediation

Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir is set to visit Tehran on Monday, continuing Pakistan's efforts to mediate an end to the nearly six-month-long war between Iran and the United States. The visit aims to bolster bilateral cooperation between Iran and Pakistan and to promote peace and security in the region, according to Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Bagaei, as reported by the Tehran Times.

The visit aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation between Iran and Pakistan, as well as to continue Pakistan's efforts to contribute to promoting peace and security in the region.

Munir will arrive with a large delegation and is scheduled to meet with senior Iranian officials. Pakistan has been a key intermediary in attempts to resolve the conflict, which began on February 28. With military hostilities currently stalled, the situation remains tense.

Adding to the pressure, U.S. President Donald Trump has announced what he termed "the most devastating economic operation ever undertaken against any country" as an "economic D-Day" against Iran. While the specifics of these new economic measures remain undisclosed, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned that countries providing "any type of vital assistance to Iran" will face economic repercussions.

Iran has responded forcefully to these threats, stating it will consider countries joining the U.S. "economic war" as enemies. Tehran has also threatened to target U.S. economic interests if Washington proceeds with new financial measures against the Islamic Republic.
