ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi departed for Tehran on Wednesday for high-level meetings with Iranian leaders as Islamabad stepped up diplomatic efforts to mediate between the United States and Iran amid reports of a possible peace agreement.
Sources said Mohsin Naqvi will discuss ongoing US-Iran peace negotiations during his visit and exchange views with Iranian officials on the evolving regional situation. His latest trip marks his second visit to Tehran within a week, highlighting Pakistan’s growing diplomatic role in efforts aimed at reducing tensions in the region.
The visit came shortly after US President Donald Trump announced that the conflict with Iran could end quickly. At the same time, the US Senate advanced a resolution seeking to limit the administration’s authority to continue military operations against Tehran, increasing pressure on Washington to pursue diplomatic solutions.
Officials familiar with the matter said Islamabad continues to maintain close contact with both Washington and Tehran as part of ongoing mediation efforts. Pakistan previously facilitated ceasefire discussions between the two sides, which temporarily reduced hostilities after months of escalating conflict in the Gulf region.
Meanwhile, diplomatic sources described Mohsin Naqvi’s sudden visit as highly significant because negotiations between the United States and Iran appear to have entered a critical phase. Analysts believe regional countries are closely monitoring the talks due to concerns over energy security, regional stability and the future of the Strait of Hormuz.
Pakistan has repeatedly called for dialogue and peaceful negotiations to prevent further escalation in the region. Officials in Islamabad maintain that diplomacy remains the only effective path toward achieving long-term peace and stability between the United States and Iran.
