Pakistani Efforts to De-escalate: Pakistan Army Chief Holds Decisive Talks in Tehran

Pakistan's Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, arrived in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Friday, May 22, 2026, on an official visit aimed at mediating to reduce regional tensions between Iran and the United States. The discussions are focused on finding diplomatic formulas to end the escalation, protect international navigation, and address the issue of frozen assets. Conversely, statements from the US administration indicate slight progress on the diplomatic track; however, they emphasize that uranium enrichment remains the major hurdle, keeping all options on the table should diplomacy falter.
