Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces, concluded his visit to Tehran without achieving a peace deal between the United States and Iran, as Iranian officials insisted on immediate economic compensation. Munir's role as a mediator highlighted the complexities of the US-Iran conflict, with Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei indicating that both sides are 'very far and very close' to an agreement. Iran's proposals included reopening the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial for global energy supplies, but only if the US agrees to significant financial compensation for damages caused by sanctions. The Iranian delegation also demanded the removal of US banking sanctions and the release of billions in frozen assets before any formal negotiations could begin. The US, represented by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, rejected the notion of a tolling system imposed by Iran on maritime traffic, emphasizing that such demands are unacceptable. As tensions rise, both nations are preparing for further discussions, with intermediaries from Pakistan and Qatar expected to reconvene soon to salvage the fragile ceasefire.
