A high-level Pakistani delegation led by Chief of the Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir arrived in Tehran on Wednesday to mediate the conflict between the US and Iran. The delegation's visit is part of Islamabad's ongoing diplomatic efforts to foster talks between the two nations.
The visit coincides with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's official travel to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Türkiye, focusing on regional cooperation and peace. Pakistani officials are preparing for a second round of US-Iran talks, following an unsuccessful initial meeting in Islamabad due to disagreements on nuclear disarmament.
The conflict, involving US and Israeli attacks on Iran, has impacted global energy markets significantly. Despite active negotiation attempts by Pakistani, US, and Iranian delegations, no consensus has been reached yet. Both sides remain engaged in pursuing a constructive dialogue.
