Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and Pakistani official Munir held a telephone conversation to discuss the latest regional developments and matters of concern to both countries, according to a statement from Iran's foreign ministry. The call was reported by Iran's state-linked Mehr News Agency, which cited the ministry statement. No further details about the content of the discussion were immediately released.
The statement did not specify which Pakistani official named Munir took part in the call, nor did it provide a readout of specific positions taken by either side. The conversation was described as covering regional developments and issues of shared interest between Tehran and Islamabad.
Araghchi is currently in Beijing for diplomatic consultations, according to the report. His presence in the Chinese capital places the call within a broader round of Iranian diplomatic engagement with regional and international partners.
Pakistan has served as a key mediator between Iran and the United States, alongside Qatar, the report noted. That mediating role has given Islamabad a channel of communication with both Tehran and Washington at a time of heightened regional tensions.
The Mehr News report provided no additional information on the timing of the call, its duration, or any follow-up steps agreed between the two sides. It also did not indicate whether the discussion touched on specific bilateral issues beyond the general description of regional developments and matters of concern to both countries.
