Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi arrived in Tehran on Saturday for a two-day official visit aimed at facilitating stalled peace talks between Iran and the United States amid a fragile ceasefire in the region.
According to Iranian media, Naqvi’s visit is part of Pakistan’s ongoing diplomatic efforts to promote regional stability and encourage dialogue between Tehran and Washington.
Naqvi was received by Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni. During their meeting, both sides discussed regional peace, bilateral relations and possible steps to revive negotiations between Iran and the US.
The visit comes days after Field Marshal Asim Munir travelled to Tehran as part of Islamabad’s mediation efforts. In April, Munir led a Pakistani delegation, including Naqvi, for meetings with Iran’s political and military leadership.
During that visit, the Pakistani delegation held talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and senior military officials.
Iranian officials reportedly appreciated Pakistan’s diplomatic role in easing tensions with Washington and facilitating communication between the two sides.
Pakistan has remained actively involved in mediation efforts and last month hosted direct talks between Iranian and US delegations in Islamabad.
Although a ceasefire announced on April 9 largely halted fighting that erupted after US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier this year, negotiations have faced repeated setbacks.
On Friday, Araghchi said Tehran had received signals from Washington indicating that the administration of US President Donald Trump remained interested in continuing negotiations.
Meanwhile, Ghalibaf warned that the US should accept Iran’s proposed 14-point peace framework or risk further diplomatic failure after Trump reportedly rejected Tehran’s latest counterproposal and described the ceasefire as being on “life support.”
