Iranian F-4s escort Pakistan army chief to Tehran
Pakistan's Army Chief General Asim Munir has arrived in Tehran for high-level talks with Iranian officials, where he was received by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. His aircraft was reportedly escorted into Iranian airspace by IRIAF F-4E and MiG-29A fighter jets, a visible demonstration of Iran's operational air force. This military escort directly contradicts recent assertions by U.S. President Donald Trump that Iran's air force had been completely destroyed. The visit is part of ongoing diplomatic efforts, with Pakistan acting as an intermediary in U.S.-Iran negotiations.
The message adds specific speculation about the potential US and Iranian delegations for the next round of talks, naming Vice President Pence, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf, and Foreign Minister Araghchi.
New reporting specifies the escorting aircraft were F-4 Phantoms and notes the presence of MiG-29s.
Video confirms the escorting aircraft were specifically IRIAF F-4E and MiG-29A fighter jets.
