Amidst the ongoing war in the Middle East, Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir had gone on a visit to Iran. This visit was special because he is the first foreign leader to visit Iran during the war. Asim Munir is seen as a person whose relations are considered strong with both America and Iran.
According to Fox News report, when he was the head of Pakistan’s Military Intelligence in 2016 and 2017, he started building relations with Iran. He maintained constant contact with the Iranian government, intelligence agencies and especially the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Asim Munir’s relations are not limited only to IRGC, but he has also been associated with Iran’s army and intelligence system. He even has personal relationships with some of Iran’s top military leaders, including names like Qassem Soleimani and Hussein Salami. A former Pakistani general said that Munir has direct contacts with Iran’s political, military and diplomatic leadership, making him an important player at the international level.

What is the opinion of American experts?
However, some American experts are also expressing concern about such situation. He believes that Munir’s close ties with Iran’s IRGC could be a sign of danger for America. An expert even said that America should not completely trust Pakistan and these relations of Munir show the need to be cautious. On the other hand, some experts say that the influence of the army is continuously increasing in Pakistan and the emergence of such leaders is an indication that the army is becoming stronger than the civilian leadership there.
Munir had gone on a three-day tour to Iran
Asim Munir recently completed a three-day visit to Iran, where he met the Iranian President, Foreign Minister, Speaker of Parliament and military leadership.
