Iran tells Pakistan army chief no talks with Washington until demands are met

Iran said 7 conditions must be met before talks with Washington can resume, as Pakistan presses mediation efforts, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, Pakistan's army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir met Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian in Tehran to discuss regional developments and stalled mediation efforts between Iran and the United States.
  • Previous mediation efforts produced an interim peace agreement in June, but the Islamabad Memorandum unraveled as fighting between Iran and the United States resumed weeks later.
  • Munir also met Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, where Tehran reiterated it will not engage with Washington until fulfilling seven conditions set last month, including lifting port blockades and oil sanctions.
  • Security chief Mohsen Rezaei asserted that enriched nuclear materials will remain in Iran, adhering to Supreme Leader AyatollahMojtabaKhamenei's position that near-weapons-grade uranium will not be shipped abroad.
  • Vice President JD Vance demanded a "meaningful" reduction in uranium enrichment capacity to end the eight-month-old war, though Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons despite Western concerns over 60% enrichment levels.
