In fact, there is not much information being released about these meetings, which began yesterday and continue today.

But according to Iranian television, today’s meeting will go into much more detail.

Yesterday’s meeting brought together the Pakistani army chief and Iran’s foreign minister.

Today, the circle of the meeting may be broader than that.

The details are linked to the correspondence that Islamabad has been conveying between Washington and Tehran since last Sunday and up to today.

These are ongoing exchanged messages related to the issues on the negotiating table.

And to the situation in general, according to the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson.

Some information indicated that after the Pakistani army chief ends his visit to Iran and his talks here,

he may also pay a visit to the United States of America,

as part of continuing Pakistan’s mediation efforts between the two sides,

especially since time is almost running out next Tuesday.

And it is the last day of the two-week ceasefire period, a large part of which has already passed.

The visit of the Pakistani army chief coincided with the visit of Pakistan’s prime minister to a number of countries in the region.

This carries important implications in Tehran’s view.

This coincidence is, of course, not accidental.

At the same time, the diplomatic activity on more than one track with Tehran is still ongoing.

Yesterday, there were two phone calls between Iran’s foreign minister and his Chinese and Japanese counterparts.

In both calls, the importance of negotiations and the importance of respecting Iran’s rights were emphasized, naturally.

A short while ago, there were new statements by the head of Iran’s judiciary, Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei.

In them, he reaffirmed that Iran has the upper hand at this stage.

It not only controls and dominates the Strait of Hormuz, but the battle in general.

He also stressed that Iran cannot give up its demands under any form of pressure.

Here we must also consider that the commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters in the Iranian armed forces

had confirmed yesterday that it is either trade for everyone in the Gulf region and Gulf waters

and the Sea of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz

or there will be no trade for anyone, in a clear threat to continue the American naval blockade of Iranian ports

and the Strait of Hormuz, and he clearly hinted at the possibility of activating Bab al-Mandeb as a card

that Iran can benefit from through its allies in Yemen, the mistaken Ansar Allah

Yes, thank you very much, Hazem Kallas, from the Alaraby TV headquarters in Tehran

and we turn to Islam Abada
