Pakistan’s Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir, arrived in Tehran on Tuesday with a delegation of Pakistani officials. Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency reported the visit, which focuses on talks with senior Iranian officials.
The visit forms part of Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to mediate between Iran and the United States. Islamabad has continued diplomatic engagement as tensions between Washington and Tehran threaten regional stability.

Munir previously visited Tehran on August 24 alongside Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi. Their discussions focused on reducing regional tensions, ending the military stalemate and exploring a negotiated settlement.
Pakistan’s mediation efforts had earlier produced an interim peace agreement known as the Islamabad Memorandum. The sides signed the agreement in June, but renewed fighting between Iran and the United States soon undermined the arrangement.
Munir’s latest visit follows Naqvi’s renewed commitment to mediation on Monday. Speaking at the Global Security Forum in Doha, the interior minister said Islamabad had never abandoned its peace efforts despite difficult moments during the conflict.

Naqvi also praised Munir’s role in bringing Washington and Tehran closer. He recalled the signing of the 14-point Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding on June 18 and the subsequent Lake Lucerne Summit in Switzerland. Pakistan and Qatar jointly organised that summit as part of their diplomatic engagement.
The latest visit highlights Pakistan’s continued efforts to encourage dialogue between the two countries. However, the available report did not provide details of Munir’s scheduled meetings, the specific agenda or any expected outcomes. Any progress toward renewed negotiations will depend on further engagement between the parties.
