Confirmed: Pakistan army chief Asim Munir reported arriving in Tehran to revive US-Iran talks

Confirmed · Tehran, Iran · 2026-10-19 20:30 UTC

Several outlets, Iranian media and OSINT accounts report that Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir arrived in Tehran on Tuesday with a Pakistani delegation to meet senior Iranian officials and revive stalled US-Iran talks. Iran had said beforehand that he would visit on Tuesday. One OSINT repost, which no other source confirms, says Munir left Tehran shortly after a Qatari delegation landed.

Details by origin

Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
