Naqvi conveyed that the meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian concluded positively, expressing optimism about the momentum propelling further progress and lasting peace in the region. The statement was made via a post on X, following the completion of a day-long visit to Tehran on Monday. During the meeting, the Pakistani officials pushed for breaking the deadlock in the ongoing US-Iran conflict, aiming to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and find a negotiated settlement to end the conflict and regional instability. Naqvi highlighted a \"very positive and productive\" discussion with Pezeshkian, emphasizing the exchange of perspectives on the Iran-US conflict, tensions in the Middle East, and the path forward, as well as steps required by both sides for the restoration of the Islamabad MoU to achieve a comprehensive settlement of the conflict. Field Marshal Munir and Naqvi engaged in comprehensive discussions with Iran's top political and security leadership on measures to avert further escalation, reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz, and expediting the termination of the conflict. Both sides also exchanged views on regional peace and explored pathways to reach a negotiated settlement of disputes. The visit is part of Pakistan's diplomatic efforts to resolve the stalemate in the US-Iran conflict and foster enduring peace and the permanent end to regional instability, as stated by ISPR. The Iranian leadership appreciated Pakistan's constructive role and sincere efforts to facilitate dialogue, de-escalation, and a peaceful resolution of the conflict.",
