Pakistani interior minister visits Tehran for talks on Iran-US negotiations

Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has arrived in Tehran to hold discussions with Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. According to the Iranian news agency ISNA, spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated that the visit is part of Islamabad's ongoing efforts regarding negotiations between Iran and the United States. State news agency IRNA confirmed the trip, noting that the primary focus is to discuss progress in these diplomatic talks. Concurrently, reports from the news outlet Axios indicate that US President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, is traveling to Switzerland for a new round of negotiations aimed at reaching a final agreement to end conflict in the Middle East. Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of the US president, is reportedly already present in Switzerland for these discussions. While official Iranian statements frame the Pakistani visit as a facilitation effort, international reporting suggests a broader diplomatic push involving multiple regional and international actors. These diplomatic developments occur shortly after the implementation of a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
