Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir will travel to Tehran on Thursday as part of diplomatic attempts to mediate disputes between the US and Iran.
According to Iran's ISNA news agency, Munir is visiting Tehran to reduce diplomatic gaps and facilitate the signing of an official memorandum of understanding to end the current confrontation between Iran and the United States.
The visit is centred on high-level discussions and consultations between Tehran and Washington, according to reports from Iran's semi-official ISNA news agency. During a period of active diplomatic engagement, Pakistan is acting as the main middleman.
"The Iranian text is being discussed in Tehran regarding the overarching framework, some details, and confidence-building measures as guarantees." It further stated that "further reductions require an end to the temptation for war from Washington," reported ISNA.
