Pakistan discusses US-Iran conflict, Strait of Hormuz with Iran

Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi wrapped up a trip to Iran on August 25, 2026, as part of Islamabad's effort to help end the ongoing US-Iran conflict. According to Mettis Global, a statement issued by ISPR described the visit. During the trip, Munir met separately with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and a group of senior figures, among them the foreign and interior ministers.

Talks centred on ways to calm the conflict, stop the regional security picture from worsening, and speed up a negotiated end to the fighting. Both sides also examined how the Strait of Hormuz could reopen, with a focus on bringing the conflict to a swift and lasting close. Officials from both countries also exchanged views on wider regional peace efforts and possible ways to settle open disputes through dialogue. Iranian leaders thanked Pakistan for helping the parties communicate and for promoting calm, talks and a peaceful outcome.

On arrival, Momeni received the visiting delegation, alongside senior figures from Iran's civil administration and armed forces. The report contained no market data, so its link to listed companies rests on the regional context alone.
