Iran and Pakistan to meet Thursday to discuss messages exchanged with US
Iranian officials and Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir, will hold talks in Tehran on Thursday to discuss messages that have been exchanged between Iran and the US since negotiations in Pakistan fell apart Sunday, Iran state media Tasnim reported.
Munir, a key intermediary between the US and Iran travelled to Tehran on Wednesday, and met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The Pakistani delegation, headed by Munir, was carrying a message from Washington, Pakistan’s military said earlier.
Araghchi said he was “very pleased” to welcome Munir to Iran in a message released after the meeting, where he affirmed Iran’s commitment to “promoting peace and stability in the region.”
It is not clear whether it is Araghchi who Munir will meet with Thursday. Iran has been exchanging messages with the US through Pakistan, amid a wider diplomatic push for a second round of talks between Tehran and Washington.
