Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir reportedly faced a cold reception in Tehran on Wednesday, October 21, after delivering a message from US President Donald Trump demanding Iran abandon its entire nuclear programme, according to News18, citing media reports. Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar reported that Munir conveyed Trump’s “last warning”, suggesting a wide-scale attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, including the Pickaxe Mountain site, if Washington’s demands were rejected. Iran’s security chief Mohsen Rezaei reportedly insisted that Tehran would not negotiate until the United States accepted Iran’s seven conditions, declaring that no enriched nuclear material would leave the country. Munir also met President Masoud Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who reportedly said Iran had nothing new to communicate.
