Overview
- Field Marshal Asim Munir arrived in Tehran on Monday with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and held meetings with Iran’s Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni and other senior officials.
- Pakistan is pressing to revive a June memorandum of understanding that created a 60‑day negotiation window after Islamabad helped broker an April ceasefire.
- Negotiators still face a trust gap over concrete security guarantees and freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, the core issues stalling the U.S.–Iran talks.
- The United States is set to unveil a major sanctions package described by Treasury officials as the toughest yet and Reuters sources say Munir spoke with President Donald Trump days before his Tehran trip.
- Iran’s security leadership has warned of possible retaliation that could target Gulf shipping and alternate oil routes, a move that would risk higher energy prices and wider regional instability.
