Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir Under US Scanner, Flagged As Risk For Trump Team

US intelligence has reportedly flagged Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir as a potential liability for the Trump administration amid Islamabad’s emerging role as a mediator between Iran and the United States in ongoing peace talks. According to a Fox News report, Munir has been labelled a “red flag” for Washington due to alleged longstanding ties with Iran’s senior military leadership. The assessment raises concerns within US security circles about Pakistan’s ability to balance relations between two rival powers at a highly sensitive geopolitical moment in the Middle East. The report highlights growing unease over Islamabad’s diplomatic positioning as tensions escalate and backchannel negotiations intensify between Washington and Tehran.
