伊朗外交部發言人：阿曼外交大臣訪問德黑蘭與巴基斯坦陸軍參謀長穆尼爾的訪問無關。

Refinitiv, citing three Pakistani sources, reported Army Chief Asim Munir spoke by phone with U.S. President Trump last week. Munir is due in Tehran today to meet senior Iranian officials; the call came as the U.S. threatened large-scale economic sanctions on Iran and its trading partners. It is unclear what was discussed.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent will hold a press briefing at 02:00 Beijing time on the 25th after previewing what he called "the toughest sanctions in history" on Iran. Commonwealth Bank of Australia commodity analyst Vivek Dhar said it is unclear whether isolating Iran economically will succeed; if Washington's measures work, Iran's capacity to respond with increased violence is an escalating risk for energy markets.
