Iran’s speaker meets Pakistan’s army chief in Tehran as Sharif visits Doha, pushing renewed US-Iran talks amid uncertainty over timing and venue
Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has met Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir in Tehran during the latter’s official visit, signalling ongoing military and political engagement between the two countries. The meeting comes as Pakistan intensifies regional diplomacy, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif arriving in Doha for talks with Qatar’s leadership amid efforts to facilitate renewed dialogue between the United States and Iran.
Sharif In Doha
Sharif reached Doha on Thursday after concluding a visit to Saudi Arabia. He is scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, as Islamabad steps up "diplomatic outreach" in the region.
The visit is part of Pakistan’s broader push to position itself as a "facilitator" for a second round of talks between the United States and Iran.
US-Iran Talks Uncertain
Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said both Washington and Tehran are open to resuming negotiations, though no date or venue has been finalised for the next round.
It also noted that Lebanon remains under a two-week ceasefire currently in place, stressing that stability there is critical for advancing broader peace efforts.
“Peace in Lebanon is essential for peace talks,” the ministry said.
