US President Donald Trump reportedly told Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir that he would consider Munir’s advice regarding the Strait of Hormuz situation during a phone conversation, according to a Pakistani security source.
The call is said to have taken place in the context of ongoing diplomatic efforts involving the United States and Iran, where Pakistan has played a behind-the-scenes facilitation role in encouraging dialogue between the two sides.
Claim links Hormuz tensions to peace talks
The source said discussions touched on the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, where ongoing disruptions and restrictions have raised concerns about global energy flows and regional stability.
The issue has become a key point in broader negotiations linked to attempts to restart US-Iran peace talks being facilitated in or through Pakistan.
Pakistan’s reported mediation role
Pakistan has increasingly been referenced in regional diplomacy involving Washington and Tehran, with Islamabad positioning itself as a potential communication channel between the two sides.
However, neither the White House nor Pakistan’s military has issued an official confirmation of the specific content of the reported phone conversation.
No official confirmation yet
At this stage, the claim remains unverified beyond the Pakistani security source cited in reports. There has been no formal statement confirming that Trump directly discussed the Strait of Hormuz blockade with Asim Munir or that he agreed to act on his advice.
Diplomatic discussions involving the US, Iran, and Pakistan remain highly fluid amid ongoing tensions in the Gulf region.
Context of rising regional tension
The reported conversation comes as the Strait of Hormuz continues to be a critical flashpoint in global energy security, with maritime disruptions and military posturing affecting oil shipments and diplomatic negotiations.
Pakistan’s involvement in mediation efforts has drawn international attention as global powers attempt to prevent further escalation.
