Naqvi meets Iran’s leaders as Pakistan revives US-Iran peace efforts
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi in Tehran on Tuesday, as Islamabad stepped up efforts to revive its mediation between the United States and Iran.
Naqvi also held meetings with Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni and Petroleum Minister Mohsen Paknejad during the visit, which comes amid renewed tensions between Washington and Tehran and a fragile situation around the Strait of Hormuz.
Naqvi arrived in Tehran on Tuesday and was received by his Iranian counterpart, Eskandar Momeni. He later held discussions with Momeni, Araghchi and other senior Iranian officials.
The mediation channel has remained largely dormant while Oman has taken the lead in negotiations concerning navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. However, reported progress in the Oman-Iran dialogue has created an opportunity for Islamabad to revive the broader process that emerged from the June agreement.
