According to media reports, the meeting continued until late Friday night, during which both sides discussed ongoing diplomatic moves intended to stop tensions from worsening and help bring the conflict to an end.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that the field marshal arrived in Tehran on Friday as part of continuing mediation efforts aimed at resolving the US-Israel war on Iran.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who was already present in Tehran, along with Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni and other officials, welcomed the field marshal upon his arrival, the military’s media wing added.
The visit is taking place as Pakistan continues efforts to facilitate dialogue between the United States and Iran after plans for a second round of negotiations in Islamabad could not move forward.
The first direct talks between the US and Iran were held in Islamabad on April 11 and 12 after a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire was reached on April 8. Although the negotiations ended without any formal agreement, the dialogue process remained active and did not collapse.
