Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a telephone conversation with Pakistan\u2019s Army Chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir to discuss the latest regional developments and matters of mutual interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to IRNA<\/em>, Araghchi spoke with Chief of Defense Forces (CDF) Munir separately while the Iranian foreign minister was in Beijing, where he also held a telephone conversation with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Iranian foreign ministry said Araghchi and Field Marshal Munir exchanged views on the latest regional developments and issues of mutual interest, without providing further details about the discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The calls came amid continued diplomatic consultations over tensions and developments in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia have intensified as the Yemen conflict enters a new phase, with the Iran-aligned group expanding its military activity along the Red Sea coast and launching attacks that are increasing pressure on Riyadh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Reuters<\/em>, Houthis have made significant territorial gains in areas overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, including positions and islands near the mouth of the strategic waterway. Their advances have increased their ability to operate along a major maritime route connecting the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The group has also stepped up drone and missile attacks targeting Saudi territory. Recent strikes have included attacks on Saudi cities and the East-West oil pipeline, raising concerns over the potential impact on regional security and global energy supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Houthi offensive has been accompanied by a substantial mobilisation of fighters. Regional sources cited by Reuters said the group had quietly built a force of around 100,000 fighters, allowing it to expand its operations and put greater military pressure on Saudi-backed forces in Yemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Houthi advances have also resulted in the capture of weapons and military equipment abandoned by retreating forces, potentially strengthening the group\u2019s capabilities as the fighting continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The developments have prompted Saudi Arabia to seek greater regional support. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman travelled to Cairo to discuss the situation with Egyptian officials, with regional sources saying Riyadh was seeking an Egyptian role in Red Sea security operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The escalation comes as the broader regional conflict has increased tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The Houthis\u2019 growing presence around the Bab el-Mandeb, alongside Iran\u2019s influence over the Strait of Hormuz, has added further significance to the group\u2019s military gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Houthis could also seek to use their recent advances to push for political and economic concessions, including changes to restrictions affecting Hodeidah and Sanaa and compensation for the effects of the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Houthi forces continuing to consolidate their positions and intensify attacks, the latest escalation has added a new dimension to the long-running Yemen conflict and increased security concerns around the Red Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pakistan has continuously called for de-escalation and has reiterated the need for dialogue to reach peace since it brought Iran and the US to the table in April this year. This role has also opened discussion about whether Islamabad can translate its peacemaking efforts into economic gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Earlier in June, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Munir took part in high-level talks in Switzerland aimed at advancing a deal to end the Iran-US conflict, marking the culmination of months of Pakistani diplomatic engagement. The effort has drawn appreciation from the United States, Iran and other countries as the war threatened to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz, global oil supplies and the wider economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Analysts say Pakistan\u2019s position as a peacemaker gives it diplomatic leverage with multiple sides, including Washington, Tehran, Gulf states, T\u00fcrkiye and China. Unlike its role after the September 11 attacks, when Pakistan became a frontline state in a prolonged war in Afghanistan, Islamabad is now seeking to position itself as a force for de-escalation and dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That diplomatic capital could potentially support greater foreign investment, trade and economic partnerships. Analysts have pointed to opportunities for deeper integration with the Middle East, stronger economic and defence ties with Gulf countries and T\u00fcrkiye, and expanded trade with Iran if sanctions are eased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PAK SOUCH MEDIA GROUP<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daily Pak Souch Newspaper Sukkur \u2013 Daily Pak Special Newspaper Karachi \u2013 Daily Pak Today Newspaper Karachi – Daily Pak Jazbo Newspaper Sukkur<\/p>\n\n\n\n Head Office : Ayub Gate Shaikh Muhalla Near Rabbania Masjid Sukkur<\/p>\n\n\n\n Karachi Office : Office No. 1901-B, 19th Floor Saima Trade Tower (B) Block I.I Chandigarh Road Near Jung Press, Shaheen Complex & National Museum of Pakistan Karachi Sindh Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact : 03009319022<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website 1 : https:\/\/paksouch.com\/<\/a> Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a telephone conversation with Pakistan\u2019s Army Chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir to discuss the latest regional developments and..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15956,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-55.png",800,947,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-55-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-55-253x300.png",253,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-55-768x909.png",768,909,true],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-55.png",800,947,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-55.png",800,947,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-55.png",800,947,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"Pakistan<\/a>","tag_info":"Pakistan","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15955"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15957,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15955\/revisions\/15957"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Houthi attacks in Saudi intensify<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
