Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces, visited Tehran, Iran, to engage with top Iranian leaders as part of efforts to mediate the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran. This visit marks Munir as the first foreign military leader to arrive in Iran following a two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. During his discussions, Munir met with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), focusing on regional stability and peace initiatives.
