Pakistani army chief's Iran visit unlikely to yield results, analyst says

Iran affairs specialist Wijdan Abdulrahman has said that the visit by Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, to Iran is unlikely to bring any breakthroughs, especially as mediation efforts to revive US-Iran negotiations continue.

Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Abdulrahman added that tensions remain high between the United States and Iran, with both sides exchanging threats and Tehran escalating its rhetoric against regional countries.

The political analyst noted that there had been optimism about negotiations through Pakistani mediation, which was supported by regional states. However, the situation has changed, and with only hours remaining, US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant is expected to announce new sanctions on Iran.

Abdulrahman also pointed out that recent statements from Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, show no flexibility regarding talks with the United States.

Rezaei had earlier declared that Iran would consider any country's participation in or support for the US economic war against the Iranian people as an act of war.
