The source confirmed that Munir left Islamabad moments ago today, which will be his fifth official visit to the Islamic Republic since Pakistan began its mediation efforts to end the joint US–Israeli-imposed war on Iran, earlier this year. Pakistan and Iran have intensified their high-level consultations on mutual interests ever since.

During his most recent visit in late August, Pakistan’s army chief met with President Masoud Pezeshkian, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni.

Last Sunday, Araghchi and his Pakistani counterpart, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, held a telephone conversation to exchange views on bilateral issues and the current regional developments — specifically regarding diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions and establishing stability in West Asia.

Meanwhile, a Pakistan army spokesperson on Monday emphasized his country’s efforts in maintaining communication channels with all regional actors, including Iran, adding that military escalation in West Asia serves no one’s interests, and that the solution lies solely in diplomacy and negotiations.
