Iran's Pezeshkian discusses mediation efforts in meeting with Pakistan's army chief

Iran's ‌President Masoud Pezeshkian ​discussed mediation efforts and regional developments during a meeting with Pakistan's ‌army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir in Tehran, Iran's Nournews reported on Tuesday.

Pakistan is a key mediator between ‌the US and Iran. Its earlier mediation efforts ‌with both parties resulted in an interim peace agreement signed in June. But the Islamabad Memorandum quickly faltered, amid new fighting ⁠between ​Iran and the ⁠US weeks after. Munir also met Iranian parliament speaker Mohammed ⁠Baqer Qalibaf. The Iranian official said Washington can't earn Tehran's trust ​until it fulfills the seven conditions presented by Iran ⁠for reopening of the Strait of Hormuz last month, according ⁠to ​an Iranian readout of the meeting.

Iran's conditions include, among other demands, the lifting of the ⁠US blockade on its ports, the lifting of US ⁠sanctions on its ⁠oil exports as well as ending hostilities on all regional fronts.
