Pakistan says Tehran talks made ‘encouraging progress’ toward final US-Iran understanding
Pakistan’s military says high-level talks in Tehran have produced “encouraging progress” toward a final understanding between Iran and the United States.
The Pakistani military's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) issued a statement on Saturday after Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir concluded a visit to Tehran, describing the trip as “short but highly productive.”
“The intensive negotiations over the last twenty-four hours have resulted in encouraging progress toward a final understanding,” the statement said.
According to the military, the talks focused on advancing the consultative process aimed at supporting peace and stability in the region and reaching a conclusive agreement.
“The engagements were held in a positive and constructive environment and contributed meaningfully toward the mediation process,” it added.
“During the visit, the field marshal held high-level engagements with Iranian leadership as part of ongoing mediation efforts aimed at promoting de-escalation and constructive engagement, amidst the regional tensions that have simmered after the ceasefire on 8th April, 2026.”
Pakistan has been brokering indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington after the two sides agreed to a ceasefire following 40 days of intense war on April 8.
Earlier talks between Tehran and Washington in Islamabad failed to produce a lasting settlement due to excessive American demands, according to Iranian officials.
During his visit, Pakistan’s army chief held meetings with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni.
Qalibaf, who was Iran’s lead negotiator in the Islamabad talks, told Munir that Iran would continue pursuing its “legitimate rights” through diplomacy while maintaining full military preparedness.
Iranian officials have repeatedly stressed that Tehran will not compromise on its national rights and has strengthened its military capabilities during the ceasefire period.
