CDF Presses for End to US-Iran Stalemate
Pakistan said Munir pressed Iran and the United States to resume talks as the Strait of Hormuz remained a key issue in the conflict.
- On Monday, August 24, 2026, Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir visited Tehran, pushing for breaking the stalemate in the US-Iran conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
- The visit follows the collapse of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding last month, as renewed hostilities deepened the trust deficit between Washington and Tehran.
- Munir traveled to Tehran days after a phone call with United States President Donald Trump, who reportedly asked Islamabad to use its influence to bring Iran back to the table.
- Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations stated the visit produced "comprehensive discussions" on reopening the Strait, though Iranian officials stressed the United States must fulfill its MoU obligations.
- Oman's Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Albusaidi is expected in Tehran for separate talks on the Strait, while analysts say Munir faces significant challenges convincing Iranian counterparts to agree to a return to talks.
