      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330457016/field-marshal-asim-munir-meets-iranian-speaker-amid-diplomatic-push</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff  Field Marshal Asim Munir met Iranian Parliament Speaker Bagher Ghalibaf in Tehran on Thursday, as Islamabad continues its diplomatic efforts to facilitate dialogue between Tehran and Washington.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Field Marshal Asim Munir arrived in the Iranian capital on Wednesday and is leading a high-level political and security delegation comprising officials from Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry, security institutions, and technical experts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to sources and official statements, the delegation’s discussions are focused on exploring a framework for a possible second round of indirect negotiations.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Islamabad has emerged as a potential venue for the next round of talks following an earlier round of discussions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed that the Pakistani delegation was holding talks in Tehran, noting that indirect communication between Iran and the United States is ongoing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Following the talks that took place in Islamabad, and discussions the Pakistani side has had with the United States, our positions have been conveyed and heard,” Baghaei said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He added that the visit would include detailed exchanges of views on the negotiating process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The diplomatic engagement comes as a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States remains in place, after being brokered with Pakistan’s mediation following weeks of intense hostilities.&lt;/p&gt;
