Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir has returned to Tehran in an effort to restart stalled peace talks between Iran and the United States, India Global Review reported on October 21. The outlet’s headline also says Iran has told Munir that uranium will not leave the country, although its accompanying summary gives no details of that message.

The report identifies a competing pressure on Munir’s mediation: Pakistan has pledged to defend Saudi Arabia, while Iran supports the Houthi rebels fighting the kingdom. It presents those commitments as a diplomatic complication for Pakistan as its army chief seeks to bring Tehran and Washington back to negotiations.
