TEHRAN — Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi is expected to arrive in Tehran today, according to sources cited by Al Arabiya and diplomatic channels.
The visit forms part of Islamabad’s ongoing diplomatic mediation efforts between Iran and the United States.
The development comes amid heightened regional diplomatic activity across the Middle East.
These efforts are aimed at reducing tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Pakistani officials are reportedly playing a facilitating role in indirect communications between the two sides.
The aim is to encourage dialogue without direct formal negotiations.
Sources say Islamabad is exploring possible frameworks for a preliminary understanding between the parties.
Such a framework could serve as a basis for future diplomatic engagement.
The discussions are expected to take place during the minister’s stay in the Iranian capital.
In Tehran, the minister is expected to hold talks with senior Iranian officials.
The talks are likely to focus on mechanisms to build mutual confidence between the parties.
Officials say these confidence-building measures could help reduce current diplomatic tensions.
They may also pave the way for more structured negotiations in the future.
At the same time, indirect diplomatic exchanges between Tehran and Washington are continuing through established backchannels.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is said to be playing a central role in these communications.
On the U.S. side, envoy Steve Witkoff is also reportedly involved in relaying messages.
The mediation effort highlights Pakistan’s attempt to position itself as a regional diplomatic facilitator amid rising tensions.
