TEHRAN – Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Field Marshal Asim Munir held a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Tehran.
They discussed diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing further escalation and promoting peace, stability, and security in West Asia.
The development was shared on official page of the government of Iran.
A day earlier, Field Marshal Asim Munir arrived in Tehran as part of ongoing diplomatic and mediation efforts focused on regional stability and conflict resolution.
Upon arrival, he was received by Eskandar Momeni, who welcomed the Pakistani military chief during an official reception ceremony. Mohsin Naqvi was also present at the reception.
Two private aircraft departed from Islamabad and are believed to be heading toward Tehran. The first aircraft, identified as GA6C, is a Gulfstream G600 historically linked to the official travel of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, Pakistan’s first Chief of Defence Staff and concurrently the 11th Chief of Army Staff of the Pakistan Army.
The second aircraft, GL5T, is a Bombardier Global 5000. According to reports, Basha Report subscribers have been informed regarding the identities of several individuals from Pakistan and other nationalities believed to be onboard the aircraft. However, no official confirmation regarding the passenger list has been issued publicly.
The diplomatic activity comes amid Pakistan’s stated commitment to supporting efforts aimed at ending the ongoing conflict after the United Nations and the United Nations Security Council were unable to produce what Islamabad considers effective or decisive solutions.
Saudi Arabia has reportedly expressed strong support for Pakistan’s mediation efforts, viewing them as an important initiative to preserve regional peace, security, and stability while preventing further escalation in the region.
Pakistan is playing key role in emerging US-Iran related diplomacy centered in Tehran. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi’s talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are said to focus on building a negotiation framework and advancing a draft agreement.
A report shared by Al Arabiya claims that Pakistan’s military chief is closely monitoring the outcome and may visit Tehran if the deal reaches its final stage, showing Islamabad’s growing behind-the-scenes diplomatic engagement in the process. The reports further claim Field Marshal could personally travel to Tehran if negotiators finalise the draft text of proposed agreement.
Mohsin Naqvi’s visit is aimed at securing consensus on a negotiation framework and deciding the mechanisms through which future talks would proceed.
At same time, Foreign Office confirmed that Iran-US negotiations are expected to come under discussion during Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s upcoming visit to China.
