Earlier this week, Iranian President’s Office Deputy for Communications and Information Dissemination Seyyed Mehdi Tabatabaei described CDF Munir’s visit to Iran as “highly fruitful”, saying it produced “highly valuable diplomatic achievements”.
In a post on X, Tabatabaei dismissed “inaccurate media speculation” about the visit, saying its results would “soon become apparent”. “Contrary to some inaccurate media speculation, the visit of Field Marshal Asim Munir, commander of the army of friendly Pakistan, to Iran was highly fruitful and yielded highly valuable diplomatic achievements,” he said.
