Pakistan's Munir spoke to Trump ahead of Tehran visit: Reuters
The call came as Pakistan prepared to discuss U.S.-Iran tensions, sanctions and regional security in Tehran, officials said.
- Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir visited Tehran on Monday for security talks, following an unreported call with President Donald Trump last week amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions.
- Trump warned last week of economic consequences against any country providing 'any type of lifeline to Iran' as he seeks isolation; Munir aims to mitigate the 'trust deficit on both sides' between the White House Office and Iran.
- Munir is expected to discuss recent attacks by Iran-aligned Houthi fighters on Saudi Arabia, as well as the recently signed mutual defence agreement between Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.
- Pakistan's military confirmed the visit on Monday, describing it as 'part of Pakistan's efforts to promote regional peace and stability,' while Iranian officials had confirmed the security-focused trip on Sunday.
- Although the Islamabad Memorandum mediated a June peace agreement, the pact faltered amid recent fighting between Iran and the White House Office. Pakistan remains a trading partner and mediator as regional tensions threaten wider conflict.
