Pakistan and Iran made "significant progress" in talks that focused on the US-Israeli war on Iran and a path to peace, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said on Tuesday, at the end of a visit to Tehran.

"The Iranian President candidly shared his government's perspective and we had a very constructive exchange on the issues involved," Naqvi, who accompanied Field Marshal Asim Munir to Tehran, said in a post on X.

"Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and I had a very positive and productive meeting with the President of Iran. Our discussion focused on the Iran-US conflict, tensions in the Middle East and the way forward, as well as the steps needed by both sides for restoration of the Islamabad MoU thereby leading to comprehensive settlement of the conflict," Naqvi said, adding that the meeting concluded on a highly positive note with hopes of lasting peace in the region.

Talks between the two sides focused on measures to prevent further escalation, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an expedited termination of the conflict, a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said regarding the meeting between Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Field Marshal Asim Munir and the Iranian leadership.

The White House and the US State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside business hours. According to three Pakistani sources, Field Marshal Asim Munir spoke with US President Donald Trump ahead of his Tehran visit, which was initiated by Trump, before meeting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Monday.
