As part of his nation's efforts to settle the dispute between the United States and Iran, Pakistan's Army head Field Marshal Asim Munir travelled to Tehran on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, for discussions with the Iranian leadership.
According to a statement from Inter-Services Public Relations, the military's media branch, Field Marshal Munir is a member of a delegation that also includes Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi.The group arrives in Tehran as part of the ongoing mediation efforts, accompanied by Field Marshal Asim Munir and Interior Minister Mr. Mohsin Naqvi, it stated.Iranian media reported that when the delegation members arrived in Tehran, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi greeted them.

According to Iran's state-run Press TV, "the purpose of the visit is to deliver a U.S. message to the Iranian leadership and to plan the next round of negotiations."
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baqaei, acknowledged earlier on Wednesday (April 15, 2026) that the U.S. and Iran were still exchanging signals through Pakistan following the failure of the Islamabad negotiations over the weekend. The state-run Irna news agency cited him as stating, "Since Sunday, when the Iranian delegation returned to Tehran, several messages have been exchanged through Pakistan."
Negotiations "based on one side imposing conditions on the other, that is not negotiation; that is dictation and imposition," he stated.The diplomatic drive coincides with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's official visits to Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.
According to reports cited by Geo News, Pakistani officials and security agencies have been directed to make the required administrative and security preparations in advance of the upcoming round of negotiations."You should stay there, really, because something could be happening over the next two days, and we're more inclined to go there," Mr. Trump told The New York Post the day before he hinted that a second round of negotiations with Iran might take place in Islamabad "over the next two days."

According to the Foreign Office, PM Shehbaz's trips to Saudi Arabia and Qatar would be bilateral in nature, with the Prime Minister meeting with the leaders of both nations to discuss regional peace and security as well as continued bilateral collaboration.
The purpose of the visits is to help the United States and Iran come to an agreement to put an end to the current war.
Over the weekend, the United States and Iran had rare direct discussions in Pakistan with the goal of resolving their issue; nevertheless, the talks ended early on Sunday without reaching a consensus.
The American delegation's leader, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, stated that one of the main obstacles to an agreement was Tehran's refusal to abandon its nuclear program.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who headed his nation's delegation in protracted peace discussions, stated that although his team presented "forward-looking initiatives, the opposite side ultimately failed to win the trust of the Iranian delegation in this round of negotiations." Pakistan has been working extremely hard for the second round, which is anticipated in the next few days, according to Pakistani authorities.
On February 28, the United States and Israel attacked Iran, paralysing the world's oil markets and upsetting trade, sparking the start of the conflict.
