Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi says that tensions between the US and Iran have “eased again due to consistent efforts” by Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir.

He made the remarks during a meeting with Jamaat-i-Islami chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, according to a statement by the interior ministry.

Naqvi and Rehman discussed the “overall situation in the country and regional matters”. They also exchanged views on “solutions to public issues”, the ministry said.
