Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir delivered a US proposal to Iran offering an end to economic sanctions and the naval blockade in exchange for Tehran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and halting attacks by its regional proxies, Al Arabiya English reported Tuesday.
Munir presented the terms during a meeting in Tehran with Mohsen Rezaee, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, as Washington seeks to return both countries to the framework of the June agreement intended to end the six-month conflict.
Al Arabiya described the talks between Munir and Rezaee as “clear and decisive.”
Under the US proposal, Washington would lift economic sanctions and end the naval blockade against Iran. Tehran, in return, would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping and stop attacks by its proxies across the region.
Munir also urged Iran to return to the June 17, 2026, memorandum of understanding signed in Islamabad by President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. The agreement collapsed within weeks as the two sides accused each other of violations and expired on Sunday, August 16, 2026, without a replacement.
Iranian officials said Tehran was conducting internal consultations on the proposal and would provide an official response soon.
Earlier Tuesday, Pakistan reported “significant progress” in talks with Iranian officials during Munir’s visit. The discussions addressed the US-Israeli war on Iran and efforts to find a path toward peace.
Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who accompanied Munir to Tehran, said the delegation held a constructive discussion with Pezeshkian about the conflict.
