Trump spoke with Pakistan's military chief before his trip to Iran, according to Pakistani source

Pakistan's Army Chief, General Asim Munir, held a conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump last week prior to his arrival in Tehran on Monday. The meeting was part of Pakistan's ongoing efforts to mediate between Iran and the United States, seeking to de-escalate tensions and revive diplomatic engagement.

A high-level Pakistani security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the interaction. "Since Pakistan initiated its role as a mediator, the field marshal remains in constant contact with the American leadership. His interaction with the President of the United States last week occurred in that context and even while he is in Tehran his contact with U.S. officials remains intact," the official told EFE.

Since Pakistan initiated its role as a mediator, the field marshal remains in constant contact with the American leadership. His interaction with the President of the United States last week occurred in that context and even while he is in Tehran his contact with U.S. officials remains intact.

General Munir's visit to Iran is presented by Iranian media as a crucial step in Pakistan's endeavor to "contribute to promoting peace." Pakistan has positioned itself as a key intermediary in the six-month-old conflict between Iran and the U.S., aiming for a peaceful resolution through negotiations.

This diplomatic initiative unfolds against a backdrop of heightened economic pressure from Washington on Tehran. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated plans for a "largest coordinated economic isolation campaign in world history." Iran has warned that it will consider any country joining the U.S. "economic war" as an "enemy" and has threatened to target American economic interests in response to further financial measures.

Pakistan wants to see the peaceful end of this conflict and is making a last effort to achieve that peace through negotiations.
