ISLAMABAD: Pakistan said on Tuesday it had made “significant progress” in talks with Iran aimed at reviving an Islamabad-brokered agreement with the United States, as Washington kept open the possibility of further military strikes and tensions persisted around the Strait of Hormuz.</p>
Pakistan’s army chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi held a series of meetings with Iran’s leadership in Tehran a day earlier as Islamabad seeks to break a stalemate between Washington and Tehran and restore the interim peace agreement it helped the two sides reach in June.</p>
“Significant progress was made, and the meeting concluded on a highly positive note,” Naqvi said in a post on X after he and Munir met Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.</p>
“We remain hopeful that this momentum will help pave the way for further progress and lasting peace in the region.”</p>
