Various of White House, U.S. national flag Storyline Iran has sought to convey its stance and negotiating conditions regarding the Strait of Hormuz to the United States through Pakistan, said a source close to the Iranian negotiating team, cited by Tasnim News Agency on Tuesday. At a meeting with Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir on Monday, Iran reportedly outlined its conditions for negotiations on the strategic waterway, emphasizing that the United States must adhere to a previously agreed memorandum of understanding (MoU) and fulfill its provisions concerning the management of the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan is reportedly tasked with delivering these conditions to the United States. Sources in Pakistan revealed that U.S. President Donald Trump had a phone conversation with General Munir prior to his visit to Iran, urging Pakistan to encourage Iran to return to negotiations. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in his meeting with Munir on Monday that the United States must change its tone and approach toward Iran, and its reliance on coercion and bullying will only complicate executive processes, said a statement published on the website of the presidential office. On Tuesday, Pakistan announced the conclusion of one-day visit to Iran by General Munir and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi. Naqvi noted that significant progress was made in talks, which focused on preventing further escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and reaching an immediate end to the conflict, and regional peace and a negotiated settlement of disputes. On June 18, the United States and Iran signed the MoU, under which the two were scheduled to hold negotiations within a period of 60 days, which ended on Aug. 17, to reach a final agreement. However, the talks' fate remains unclear following renewed escalation between the two countries.
