The Pakistani Army described the purpose of Munir’s visit as part of ongoing mediation efforts between Iran and the United States.
On February 28, the United States and Israel initiated an unprovoked war against Iran. Iran responded with powerful retaliatory strikes. A Pakistan-mediated ceasefire took effect on April 8, but talks have faced challenges due to deep mistrust and the continued US naval blockade on Iranian ports. Iran has refused to reopen the Strait of Hormuz until the blockade is lifted.
