Tel Aviv, May 21 -- As Pakistan grapples with severe economic stress and over USD 100 billion in foreign debt, Islamabad is looking to lock the peace deal between Iran and the US so as to secure funds from Iran, Israeli media outlet C14 reported.

According to the report by C14 citing sources, it was reported that Tehran and Islamabad reached an understanding under which Pakistan would help Iran secure a favourable deal. In return, Iran would help Pakistan deal with its debt using the massive funds expected to flow after sanctions relief and a future agreement.

This comes as Pakistan's Interior Minister is already present in Iran, with ISNA reporting that Army Chief Asim Munir is likely to arrive in Tehran on Thursday.
