Pakistan army chief to visit U.S. after Iran trip amid mediation efforts

Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir will visit Washington after Iran trip, as Islamabad steps up efforts to revive U.S.-Iran negotiations.

Iranian media reported that Asim Munir will travel to the United States after concluding a visit to Iran, as part of efforts to revive negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

According to Tasnim News Agency, Munir is expected to leave for Washington on April 17 following his return from Tehran, where he held discussions with Iranian officials.

The visit is being seen as part of Pakistan’s ongoing mediation role aimed at restarting stalled talks between the United States and Iran.

Munir’s trip comes a day after his visit to Tehran, underscoring Islamabad’s increasing diplomatic engagement with both sides amid rising regional tensions.

Meanwhile, Axios reported that Washington and Tehran may be nearing an understanding to end the conflict, raising cautious optimism about potential progress.

Pakistan has recently hosted direct talks between U.S. and Iranian officials in Islamabad, marking one of the highest-level engagements between the two sides in decades.

Despite those talks ending without a final agreement, both parties have signaled willingness to continue negotiations, with mediation efforts intensifying.

Munir’s planned visit to Washington highlights Pakistan’s growing role as a diplomatic bridge, as momentum builds toward a possible breakthrough in U.S.-Iran talks.
