CDF Asim Munir Iran Visit Amid US Sanctions Threat

Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir is scheduled to visit Tehran on Monday amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States. The visit aims to promote peace and regional security, with discussions expected to include potential new US sanctions against Iran and ongoing Houthi issues. This comes as the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent prepares to announce an 'unprecedented financial campaign' against Tehran, warning other nations against economic dealings with Iran. Iran has responded by threatening to stop oil exports through the Persian Gulf if economic pressure continues, highlighting the critical nature of Munir's diplomatic mission following Islamabad's efforts to de-escalate US-Iran tensions.
