Pakistan's Interior Minister Visits Iran Amid US-Iran Peace Negotiations

Analysed 20 Jun 2026·9 sources analysed·Tehran, Iran·Politics
Pakistan's Interior Minister Visits Iran Amid US-Iran Peace NegotiationsPreviousNext

Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi made an unannounced visit to Iran, arriving first in Mashhad before traveling to Tehran for talks with senior Iranian officials. This marks the first high-level Pakistani trip following the recent US-Iran memorandum of understanding aimed at restoring peace in West Asia. Naqvi is expected to discuss the ongoing negotiations, including the lifting of sanctions and nuclear issues, as Pakistan acts as a guarantor. The visit follows the postponement of planned US-Iran talks in Switzerland, with future negotiations contingent on outcomes from Naqvi's discussions.
