Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir has arrived in Tehran as part of the “ongoing mediation efforts”-

In a statement, ISPR said that CDF Munir had arrived in the Iranian capital alongside a formal delegation and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi.The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Wednesday that Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir had arrived in Tehran as part of the “ongoing mediation efforts”.

In a statement, ISPR said that CDF Munir had arrived in the Iranian capital alongside a formal delegation and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi.“Today, we are very likely to receive a Pakistani delegation as a continuation of the discussions in Islamabad,” he added.

Baqaei asserted that Tehran’s right to enrich uranium was “indisputable” although the level of enrichment is “negotiable”.

The Iranian official said the right to peaceful use of nuclear energy could not be “taken away under pressure or through war”.

“Regarding the level and type of enrichment, we have always stated that this issue is negotiable. We have emphasised that Iran should be able to continue enrichment in accordance with its needs,” he added.

Baqaei also said some of the US demands during the talks with the US were “unreasonable and unrealistic”, without elaborating.

He insisted on Iran’s right to peaceful use of nuclear energy, saying it could not be “taken away under pressure or through war”.

The level of enrichment, he said, remains “negotiable” and “Iran should be able to continue enrichment in accordance with its needs”.

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that talks between Washington and Tehran could resume over the next two days and that “we’re more inclined to go” to Pakistan, according to The New York Post.

“You should stay there, really, because something could be happening over the next two days, and we’re more inclined to go there,” Trump said.

“It’s more likely, you know why? Because the Field Marshal is doing a great job. He’s fantastic, and therefore it’s more likely that we go back there,“ he told The NY Post. “Why should we go to some country that has nothing to do with it?”

This was after he earlier told the US media outlet that discussions were “happening, but, you know, a little bit slow”, before indicating that a second round of direct negotiations would likely happen somewhere in Europe.

And on Wednesday, in a clip shared of an interview shared by Fox, Trump said that the war with Iran is “very close to over”.
