Reports say Munir has had ties with senior figures in Iran’s military, especially the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. These include:
- Qassem Soleimani (killed in 2020)
- Hossein Salami
A retired Pakistani officer, Ahmed Saeed, told Fox News that these personal ties are now being closely examined.
Why past concerns about Pakistan matter
The current doubts are not new. For years, US policymakers have questioned Pakistan’s role in regional security.
During the Afghanistan war, critics accused Pakistan of taking US support while also allowing Taliban-linked groups to operate.
Experts from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, including analyst Bill Roggio, say this history makes it harder to fully trust Pakistan’s actions today.
