Field Marshal Asim Munir, the Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan, arrived in Tehran on Monday, September 2.

Mohsin Raza Naqvi, the Interior Minister of Pakistan, is accompanying him on his trip to the Iranian capital.

The Pakistan Army issued a statement announcing that this senior military leader's visit to Tehran "is part of Islamabad's efforts to enhance regional peace and stability and will focus on discussions with Iranian officials to strengthen peace efforts and find a peaceful, sustainable, and comprehensive solution to Middle Eastern conflicts." The IRNA news agency reported that Asim Munir will meet with senior officials of the Islamic Republic.

Reuters, citing several Pakistani officials, reported that Asim Munir, the Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan, spoke on the phone with Donald Trump last week before his trip to Tehran.

Three Pakistani sources told Reuters that this call took place a few days before Munir was expected to travel to Tehran on Monday for discussions with Islamic Republic officials.

According to Reuters, this previously unreported call occurred amid the U.S. announcement of extensive economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic and its trading partners.

The report also mentioned that the Pakistani army chief is expected to meet with individuals close to Mojtaba Khamenei on Monday.

Reuters noted that tensions between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic are one of the anticipated focal points of this visit.

Another source in the Pakistani government stated, "Munir is also set to discuss the recent attacks by Houthi forces affiliated with the Islamic Republic on Saudi Arabia, Pakistan's ally."

Ismail Baqaei, the spokesperson for the Islamic Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announced on Monday, September 2, that Badr al-Busaidi, the Foreign Minister of Oman, will travel to Tehran on Tuesday.

According to the IRNA news agency, Baqaei told reporters that Busaidi will meet with Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, in Tehran.

Following the U.S. and Israeli attacks and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the Islamic Republic has begun negotiations with Oman to define a new legal regime for the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran, Muscat, and Doha report progress in these negotiations; however, Donald Trump, the President of the United States, threatened last week that if Oman obstructs the "agreement" between Tehran and Washington, he would bomb the country.

Busaidi was the mediator in two rounds of negotiations between the Islamic Republic and the United States last year. Both rounds ended without results and were followed by U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.
