How Pakistan's army chief became an unlikely peacemaker in the Iran war
"Field Marshal Munir is the driving force; without him this would not work. The foreign ministry is just a junior partner. Countries like Iran and the US have this confidence in Asim Munir."
"Munir's phone calls led the frantic international efforts to mediate peace, showcasing his unique position as a trusted intermediary between the US and Iran."
Field Marshal Asim Munir arrived in Tehran to mediate peace talks between the US and Iran. His visit followed failed negotiations in Islamabad. Despite US President Trump's aggressive stance, he praised Munir's efforts. Munir presented a new proposal for talks in Islamabad. Pakistan has become an unexpected diplomatic broker, with Munir facilitating communication between US and Iranian leaders. His influence is recognized, with former ambassador Maleeha Lodhi stating that the army chief is essential for the negotiations, overshadowing the foreign ministry's role.
