Pakistan's Army Chief Brokered Secret Deal Between Iran and Saudi Arabia
Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir allegedly used his connections to negotiate a secret pact between Iran and Saudi Arabia, ending Iranian missile strikes on the Gulf state.
The agreement was reportedly established in late March, during the initial phase of the conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran. According to unnamed sources, including a Middle East diplomat and regional intelligence official, Asim Munir leveraged his joint oil transport operation with Ahmad Vahidi, commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as leverage throughout the talks.
The commercial entity has been moving Iranian oil into Pakistan since late last year, operating despite international sanctions and restrictions on Iranian energy exports. This venture reportedly generated substantial financial returns for both parties, particularly while Iran faced a US maritime blockade impacting its commercial shipping and oil exports.
