On June 6, Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met with Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni in Tehran as part of Pakistan's initiative to mediate between the US and Iran. This meeting follows two months of ongoing discussions, with Naqvi tasked with delivering messages from Pakistan's military chief and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei. As tensions rise in the Gulf, including Iranian missile attacks, Pakistan is positioning itself as a key player in Middle Eastern diplomacy while also seeking to secure its interests, such as the release of frozen assets. The US is closely watching these developments, hoping for concrete progress in negotiations.
