In a meeting with Pakistan's army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian discussed mediation efforts and regional developments, according to Iran's Nournews. Pakistan, a crucial mediator between the US and Iran, previously facilitated an interim peace agreement in June, but this agreement quickly unraveled following renewed fighting between Iran and the US.
During the meeting, Pezeshkian informed Munir that the US cannot earn Tehran's trust until Iran meets the seven conditions it set last month to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, reiterated to Munir that all Iranian enriched nuclear materials will remain in the country and that Tehran will not negotiate until its conditions are met.
These conditions encompass lifting the US blockade on Iranian ports, ending US sanctions on oil exports, and ceasing hostilities on all regional fronts. In his first encounter that day, Munir also met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
