Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of the Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir landed in Tehran on Wednesday as part of the ongoing Mideast peace negotiation efforts.

The Inter Services Public Relations said in a statement that he was part of a delegation that also included Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi received the delegation.

Iran earlier said it continued to exchange messages with Washington through Pakistani mediators.

“Message exchanges continue” regarding negotiations with the United States, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said in a news briefing cited by the state news agency IRNA.

“Since Sunday, when the Iranian delegation returned to Tehran, multiple messages have been exchanged through the Pakistani intermediary,” he added.

“Our positions have been conveyed and heard,” he added.

On the nuclear file, the spokesperson said discussions over uranium enrichment are not new.

“There is room for discussion on the type and level of enrichment,” he said.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran must be able to continue enrichment based on its national needs,” he added.

The US and Iran held rare direct talks in Pakistan this weekend aimed at ending their conflict, but the talks ended early Sunday without any agreement.
