Pakistan’s interior minister is in Tehran as the US downs more Iranian drones over Hormuz
Pakistan says Naqvi is carrying a message from its top leadership as mediation efforts seek to restart stalled Iran-US negotiations.
- On Saturday, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi arrived in Tehran carrying a sealed message from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, aiming to revive stalled indirect U.S.-Iran negotiations.
- The conflict began February 28 when U.S. and Israeli forces attacked Iran; a preliminary ceasefire on April 8 halted hostilities, but direct talks hosted by Islamabad in April concluded without breakthrough.
- Tehran demands release of $24 billion in frozen assets, while Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei cited Washington's "changing and contradictory positions" as the main obstacle, describing negotiations as "very cumbersome."
- Military tensions escalated over the weekend as U.S. Central Command shot down two Iranian drones over the Strait of Hormuz and struck coastal radar sites, while Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed it targeted U.S. bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.
- The Strait of Hormuz blockade disrupts one-fifth of global oil traffic, spiking energy prices and creating political pressure on President Donald Trump; Pakistan, with backing from Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt, continues efforts to bridge the U.S.-Iran divide.
