Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan's army chief, is playing a crucial role in mediating between Iran and the U.S. A recent video shows him in Tehran, highlighting his involvement in easing tensions.
Pakistan has been acting as a mediator, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar publicly leading efforts.
However, Munir's behind-the-scenes work has been vital.
He has maintained contacts with American and Iranian leaders, helping to facilitate rare face-to-face talks.
Munir's influence extends beyond diplomacy, as he holds significant power within Pakistan, shaping responses to regional crises.
