Reuters reported on Aug. 24, citing three Pakistani sources, that Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir spoke by phone with U.S. President Donald Trump last week. The call came just days before Munir was set to travel to Tehran on Aug. 24 for meetings with senior Iranian officials. According to the report, the conversation took place as the United States was threatening sweeping economic sanctions targeting Iran and its trading partners. The content of the phone call has not been disclosed, and it remains unclear what Munir and Trump discussed. The development links a high-level military contact between Pakistan and the United States with a planned visit by Pakistan’s army chief to Iran, but Reuters said no further details on the exchange were immediately available.
