Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi Iran visit to Tehran on Wednesday marks another key step in Pakistan’s ongoing diplomatic efforts to support indirect US-Iran peace negotiations. The visit comes at a time when Islamabad is actively trying to reduce rising tensions between Washington and Tehran and encourage progress in stalled talks over regional security.
During the Mohsin Naqvi Iran visit, the Interior Minister is expected to hold high-level discussions with senior Iranian leaders. The talks will focus on recent developments in indirect negotiations between the United States and Iran. Pakistan is increasingly playing a mediating role to prevent further escalation in the Middle East and support peaceful dialogue between both sides.
Pakistan has been engaged in backchannel diplomacy for several months. Through this process, it has helped maintain communication between Washington and Tehran at a time when formal negotiations remain difficult. The Mohsin Naqvi Iran visit also follows earlier diplomatic efforts where Islamabad facilitated discussions aimed at easing regional tensions and supporting ceasefire initiatives.
This is not Mohsin Naqvi’s first visit to Tehran. He had also travelled last week, where he met top Iranian officials, including Masoud Pezeshkian, Abbas Araghchi, and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Those meetings focused on bilateral relations, regional stability, and ways to advance US-Iran dialogue.
Pakistan has also strongly condemned recent drone attacks on the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the United Arab Emirates and similar strikes in Saudi Arabia. At the United Nations, Pakistan reiterated its position, calling for restraint and protection of critical infrastructure in the region.
Meanwhile, global powers are also urging de-escalation. Chinese President Xi Jinping recently called for an immediate end to hostilities in the Middle East during talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, warning that the region stands at a critical turning point between war and peace.
As diplomatic efforts continue, Pakistan’s role in facilitating communication between Iran and the United States remains significant. The Mohsin Naqvi Iran visit highlights Islamabad’s continued push for stability, dialogue, and peaceful resolution of regional conflicts.
