A US intelligence report has flagged Pakistan's Army Chief General Asim Munir over his past connections with Iranian military leadership, including figures linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This assessment comes despite President Donald Trump's reported strong backing for Munir as a key intermediary in West Asia diplomacy. Analysts warn the relationship could pose a strategic risk if Pakistan attempts to balance ties between the US and Iran.
