Pakistan Delegation Reaches Tehran With US Message; Will Asim Munir’s Visit Resume US-Iran Talks Round 2?

Pakistan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Wednesday reached Tehran. Their visit comes as a last-minute effort to revive stalled peace talks between the United States and Iran ahead of the April 22 ceasefire deadline. The earlier “Islamabad talks”, held on April 11, had failed to produce any agreement.

The delegation was received in Tehran by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. A statement from Pakistan’s military noted that the visit is a part of Islamabad’s attempts to help both sides find common ground. According to state media reports, they are carrying a new message from the US that could help shape a possible second round of negotiations before the deadline ends.

Will Ceasefire Be Extended?

Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump said he does not believe extending the ceasefire is necessary at this stage. Speaking to ABC news, Trump said he expects “an amazing two days ahead” and suggested that an outcome, possibly through diplomacy, could still emerge soon. The earlier talks in Islamabad failed mainly due to disagreements over Iran’s nuclear activities, sanctions relief, and regional security issues, including the Strait of Hormuz.

Both sides failed to find common ground, leading to the collapse of that round of negotiations. Vice President JD Vance, who led the US delegation, said Iranian negotiators did not agree to Washington’s terms, which he described as “flexible.” He added that while the US had clearly outlined its red lines, Iran refused to commit to stopping its nuclear programme. "What we figured out is that they were unable, I think- the team that was there, was unable to cut a deal. They had to go back to Tehran, either from the supreme leader or somebody else, and actually get approval to the terms that we had set," Vance said.
