Story summary

Mohsin Naqvi, Pakistan's Interior Minister, visited Tehran on Sunday for talks aimed at reviving stalled diplomatic processes between the US and Iran. During his meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Iranian counterpart Eskandar Momeni, the discussions centered around regional peace and the mediation process. Both sides expressed gratitude for Pakistan's efforts in advancing regional stability.

Meanwhile, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of Iran’s Parliament, stated that Tehran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until all its conditions are met and US commitments are honored. He also warned that if the US makes a mistake in dealing with Iran, all US bases and interests in the region could face continuous attacks without restraint.

The visit by Naqvi is seen as an effort to convey Iran's terms for the reopening of Hormuz and to emphasize the importance of dialogue in de-escalating regional tensions. Pakistani officials thanked Iran for recognizing Pakistan’s efforts towards peace in the region, indicating a strengthening bilateral relationship between the two countries.
