Iranian media reported on the 25th (local time) that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who is visiting Pakistan, conveyed Iran's position regarding the armistice to the Pakistani side.

According to reports, Minister Araghchi, who arrived in Islamabad, Pakistan, the previous night, met with General Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan, on this day and conveyed Iran's perspectives and considerations regarding the armistice. General Munir is considered a 'key man' in mediating US-Iran negotiations.

Iranian media reported that the two sides discussed the latest developments related to the ceasefire and cooperation measures to strengthen peace and stability in West Asia during the meeting.

Reuters also quoted a Pakistani source as reporting, "Minister Araghchi conveyed Iran's reservations regarding US demands and Iran's negotiation requirements to Pakistani officials."

The Iranian Foreign Ministry reported that General Munir expressed gratitude to Iran for trusting Pakistan as a neighboring country and said that Pakistan is willing to continue its mediation efforts until results are achieved.

The Foreign Ministry also stated that Minister Araghchi met with Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on the same day.

Pakistan's top diplomatic and security officials, including Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, General Munir, and National Security Adviser Asim Malik, were also present at the meeting.

Expectations for a second round of US-Iran negotiations grew when Minister Araghchi made an unannounced late-night visit to Pakistan the previous day, but the Iranian side drew a line, stating there would be no direct negotiations.

Minister Araghchi is scheduled to visit Oman and Russia after Pakistan.
