Tehran: On Islamabad MOU we stand
US President Trump has offered Iran an End to the Blockade and the Removal of Sanctions in exchange for Reopening the Strait of Hormuz
The recent Offer was brought to Iran by the Pakistani Military Chief
The Iranian Political System may see this as an Effort by Trump to win the Midterm Elections.
However, alternative report from Washington affirmed that there is no any ongoing or schedule talk between the US and Ira.
The Trump administration is not engaged in talks with Iran and none are currently scheduled, Al Jazeera Arabic reported Tuesday, citing a White House official who requested anonymity.
“As President Trump said, there are no talks or discussions currently under way or scheduled with Iran,” the official told Al Jazeera.
“The naval blockade remains firmly and effectively in place, the Strait of Hormuz is open, and the sea mines have been removed or destroyed,” the official added, according to the report.
Tehran has also said it has set out its conditions and position on the Strait of Hormuz to Pakistan for delivery to the United States, the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency reported on Tuesday, citing a source close to the Iranian negotiating team.
The source said Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, who visited Iran on Monday, did not carry a threat or similar message from Washington and instead sought to help reopen space for negotiations.
"Iran's positions were clearly conveyed to the Pakistani side," the source said.
The source said one of Tehran's conditions was for the United States to return to what was described as the Islamabad memorandum and implement its provisions.
The Pakistani side was seeking to pass those conditions to Washington, Tasnim cited the source as saying.
According to Sputnik, Pakistan's Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, completed a one-day visit to Tehran, reaffirming Islamabad's central role in mediating between the US and Iran. The mission focused on de-escalating hostilities and reviving stalled negotiations.
Accompanied by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Munir held talks with Iran's top leadership, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Major General Mohsen Rezaei — the Supreme Leader's personal representative and Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), along with other senior officials.
According to Pakistan's military (ISPR), discussions centered on preventing escalation, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and achieving a swift end to the conflict. Iranian officials praised Pakistan's constructive mediation. Naqvi called the exchange "very constructive," while Tehran described the visit as "highly fruitful," citing "valuable diplomatic achievements" to be disclosed later.
A key matter was reviving the "Islamabad Memorandum"—the landmark agreement brokered by Pakistan on June 17. However, its 60-day framework expired in mid-August without renewal.
Beyond mediation, the visit boosted bilateral ties. Iran noted relations are at "one of the best stages" in their history, with both sides committed to expanding cooperation. The nations reaffirmed their goal of increasing trade from over $3 billion to $10 billion and advancing cross-border infrastructure and energy connectivity.
This was Munir's third visit to Iran this year, underscoring Pakistan's persistent diplomatic engagement. Though specific outcomes remain undisclosed, both sides express cautious optimism about the negotiation process.
