Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi arrived in Tehran on June 6, 2026, for his third diplomatic visit in recent weeks, aimed at mediating escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Upon arrival, he was welcomed by Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni. Naqvi's agenda includes discussions with high-ranking officials, including Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, to foster peace talks following a series of conflicts in West Asia that have disrupted global energy markets. Before his departure, Naqvi briefed Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on his recent engagements, including meetings at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict intensified after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28, which prompted retaliatory measures from Tehran. A ceasefire was established on April 8, and since then, both nations have been communicating through Pakistan to explore peace negotiations. Although Pakistan hosted initial direct talks between the U.S. and Iran, no agreement was reached, highlighting the complexities of the situation.
