The Qatari delegation is holding negotiations with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Tehran to end the war under Pakistani mediation, the semi-official Iranian news agency Anadolu reported on Friday.

The Qatari delegation is negotiating with the Iranian Foreign Minister in Tehran to end the war, which began on February 28 when Israel and the US launched military strikes against Iran, Tasnim reported citing Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei.

“The mediator between the US and Iran remains the Pakistani side,” Tasnim stressed.

Early on Friday, Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, arrived in Tehran as part of ongoing mediation efforts to end the war, the Pakistan Army said in a statement.

“With upon arrival, he was received and warmly welcomed by Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni,” the statement said.

“Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi was also present at the reception,” it added.

This is Munir’s second such visit to Tehran as part of Pakistani mediation efforts to end the war.

During his visit to Iran, according to Pakistani sources, Munir will discuss Iran-US talks, regional peace and stability, as well as other “important” issues.

The sources did not provide details on the duration of the visit.

Pakistan Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has been in Tehran for two days as part of indirect talks between the US and Iran.

Munir visited Tehran for three days last month, where he met with civilian and military leaders of Iran.

The Pakistani army chief held separate meetings with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, as well as with the commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Staff of the Iranian armed forces, Major General Ali Abdollahi.

Munir is directly involved in mediating between Washington and Tehran, with the aim of to finally end the war.

Mediation began when Pakistan secured a ceasefire on April 8, halting the war, and then hosted the highest-level talks between the US and Iran since 1979 on April 11–12.

Islamabad has intensified its mediation process to secure a second round of direct talks between the parties.
