However, the Islamabad Memorandum quickly faltered as fighting between the two countries resumed weeks later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separately, Iran\u2019s parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf told Pakistan\u2019s army chief that Washington could not gain Tehran\u2019s trust unless it implemented Iran\u2019s seven conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to an Iranian readout of the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran\u2019s conditions include, among other demands, the lifting of the US blockade on its ports, \u200cthe lifting of US sanctions on its oil exports as well as ending hostilities on all regional fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Iran\u2019s security chief Rezaei said all enriched nuclear materials in the country would remain there during a meeting with Field Marshal Asim Munir, Tasnim news agency reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discussions come amid continued diplomatic efforts to address regional tensions and find a way forward in the conflict between Iran and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said the discussions would relate to negotiations but would focus primarily on bilateral relations and strengthening cooperation between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trip comes amid persistent regional tensions and stalled efforts to resume US-Iran negotiations. The two countries have been in conflict since February, with hostilities continuing around the Strait of Hormuz despite earlier attempts to secure a lasting settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi blamed Washington for insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil and gas shipments that Iran has sought to blockade during the war launched by the US and Israel in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pakistan continues mediation efforts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pakistan has played a key mediating role between Iran and the US this year, with CDF Munir and senior civilian leaders, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, engaging with Iranian leadership in efforts to broker a lasting peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Tasnim, the military chief\u2019s visit is also expected to cover measures to strengthen bilateral ties between Islamabad and Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Munir\u2019s planned visit follows earlier talks with Iranian leaders, which focused on preventing further escalation, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and expediting an end to the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both sides reached an interim peace deal in June, brokered by Pakistan, but the agreement collapsed weeks later in July. Hostilities in and around the Strait of Hormuz have continued since then, while efforts to restart negotiations remain stalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tehran insists that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) brokered with Pakistan\u2019s help should remain the basis of any future peace deal. Munir\u2019s planned visit to Tehran will be his fifth since the agreement was reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest diplomatic push comes as tensions across the Middle East persist, including attacks by Yemen\u2019s Iran-backed Houthis on Saudi infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PAK SOUCH MEDIA GROUP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daily Pak Souch Newspaper Sukkur \u2013 Daily Pak Special Newspaper Karachi \u2013 Daily Pak Today Newspaper Karachi &#8211; Daily Pak Jazbo Newspaper Sukkur<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Head Office : Ayub Gate Shaikh Muhalla Near Rabbania Masjid Sukkur<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karachi Office : Office No. 1901-B, 19th Floor Saima Trade Tower (B) Block I.I Chandigarh Road Near Jung Press, Shaheen Complex &amp; National Museum of Pakistan Karachi Sindh Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact : 03009319022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Website 1 : <a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/\">https:\/\/paksouch.com\/<\/a><br>Website 2 : <a href=\"https:\/\/sindhi.paksouch.com\/\">https:\/\/sindhi.paksouch.com\/<\/a><br>Website 3 : <a href=\"https:\/\/pakjazbo.com\/\">https:\/\/pakjazbo.com\/<\/a><br>Website 4 : <a href=\"https:\/\/urdu.pakjazbo.com\/\">https:\/\/urdu.pakjazbo.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEHRAN: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian discussed mediation efforts and regional developments during a meeting with Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, in..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18108,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-60-3.png",800,947,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-60-3-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-60-3-253x300.png",253,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-60-3-768x909.png",768,909,true],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-60-3.png",800,947,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-60-3.png",800,947,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-60-3.png",800,947,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Pakistan<\/a>","tag_info":"Pakistan","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18107","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=18107"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18109,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18107\/revisions\/18109"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
