Araghchi thanks Pakistan for hosting Iran-US talks, hoping for more talks between US and Iran

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a social media post that he thanked Pakistan for its “gracious hosting” of the US-Iran dialogue as he received the country’s Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir in Tehran on Wednesday.

Araghchi received Munir, who is heading a high-level political-security delegation, at a formal meeting shortly after he arrived in Tehran to deliver a message from Washington.

The delegation includes representatives from Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry, security institutions and technical experts.

“Expressed gratitude for Pakistan's gracious hosting of dialogue, emphasizing that it reflects our deep and great bilateral relationship,” he posted on X.

“Our commitment to promoting peace and stability in the region remains strong—and shared.”

The purpose of the Pakistani delegation’s visit is to deliver a US message to the Iranian leadership and to plan the next round of negotiations.

The arrival of Pakistan’s top military official underscores Islamabad’s growing role as a key mediator between Tehran and Washington.

The truce took effect after 40 days of fighting that began on February 28, when the United States and Israel launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran.

The aggression included the assassination of Iran’s then-Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and strikes on nuclear facilities, schools, hospitals and civilian infrastructure.

Iran’s armed forces responded with 100 waves of retaliatory strikes under Operation True Promise 4, launching hundreds of ballistic and hypersonic missiles, as well as drones, against American military bases across West Asia and Israeli positions throughout the occupied territories.
