Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi’s recent discussions with the Prime Minister about an upcoming trip to Tehran follow a previously unannounced visit on May 17. Diplomatic sources indicate this earlier two-day trip was part of Pakistan’s ongoing shuttle diplomacy aimed at reviving the stalled Iran-US peace process after President Donald Trump rejected Tehran’s latest proposals.

During the May visit, which was intended to prevent negotiations from collapsing, Naqvi met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. The discussions took place amid a fragile, Pakistan-brokered ceasefire and prolonged disruptions to global energy shipping.
