Pakistan\u2019s military says high-level talks in Tehran have produced \u201cencouraging progress\u201d 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 Chief\u00a0of defence forces Field Marshal Asim Munir concluded a visit to Tehran, describing the trip as \u201cshort but highly productive.\u201d \u201cThe intensive negotiations over the last twenty-four hours have resulted in encouraging progress toward a final understanding,\u201d 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. \u201cThe engagements were held in a positive and constructive environment and contributed meaningfully toward the mediation process,\u201d it added. \u201cDuring 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.\u201d 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\u2019s 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\u2019s lead negotiator in the Islamabad talks, told Munir that Iran would continue pursuing its \u201clegitimate rights\u201d 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
