Pakistan Army Chief Visits Iran as US-Iran Talks Progress and Trump Signals Ongoing Negotiations

Email:online@newsofbahrain.com

Islamabad: Pakistan’s army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir is set to visit Iran for high-level talks, as diplomatic efforts intensify to stabilize tensions in the region. The visit comes at a sensitive moment, with US President Donald Trump indicating that negotiations related to Iran are still underway and remain “on the borderline,” suggesting talks are continuing but not yet close to a final breakthrough.

The development highlights Pakistan’s ongoing role as a key mediator between Washington and Tehran. Islamabad has repeatedly positioned itself as a bridge in efforts to reduce hostilities, especially as tensions over Iran’s nuclear program and regional security remain high.

Trump’s latest remarks add uncertainty to the situation. While he has signaled openness to diplomacy, he has also warned that options remain open if negotiations fail, keeping pressure on Iran as discussions continue.

Pakistan’s military leadership has been actively involved in shuttle diplomacy over recent months, engaging with Iranian officials and US-linked intermediaries in attempts to keep dialogue alive and prevent escalation. The upcoming visit is expected to continue those discussions and explore possible pathways for de-escalation.
