Iranian media have reported that Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir is expected to arrive in Tehran for high-level consultations amid ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions between Iran and the United States over the West Asia conflict. According to Iran’s state-linked ISNA news agency, the visit is intended to continue “talks and consultations” with Iranian authorities.

While official details remain limited, the engagement is being viewed as part of Pakistan’s broader mediation efforts between Tehran and Washington, as regional actors attempt to stabilise a conflict that escalated earlier this year. The development follows a separate visit by Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who met Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Tehran on Wednesday.

These back-to-back engagements signal intensified diplomatic outreach by Islamabad, which has positioned itself as an intermediary in ongoing discussions involving Iran and the United States. The mediation efforts come against the backdrop of a fragile ceasefire that has held since April 8, following earlier hostilities that erupted on February 28 after US and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets. Despite the pause in active conflict, tensions remain high, with Washington warning that diplomatic opportunities are narrowing.

US President Donald Trump has publicly stated that negotiations are nearing a critical point, warning of possible renewed military action if talks fail. Iranian officials, meanwhile, have accused Washington of attempting to reset conditions for renewed confrontation, while maintaining that Tehran is reviewing proposals received from the US side. Iranian authorities have reiterated demands including the release of frozen assets and an end to restrictions affecting Iranian maritime activity.

At the same time, officials in Tehran have warned that any renewed conflict could expand beyond the region, underscoring the continued volatility surrounding the diplomatic process. As discussions continue through intermediaries, Pakistan’s role is increasingly seen as a key diplomatic channel, with Field Marshal Munir’s expected visit highlighting ongoing efforts to prevent further escalation in an already tense regional landscape.
