In an effort to revive the strained Iran-US peace process, Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi made an unannounced visit to Tehran. This visit, according to both Pakistani and Iranian reports, signifies Islamabad's ongoing mediation in the region's geopolitical landscape.

The talks come after US President Donald Trump rejected Iran's latest proposals. Despite this setback, Pakistan continues its shuttle diplomacy to prevent the negotiations from collapsing, especially after previous rounds in Islamabad had gathered much momentum.

The visit, which primarily focused on bilateral and border security, comes at a pivotal time. The fragile ceasefire, initiated through Pakistani mediation, faces challenges amidst tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Naqvi's discussions with his Iranian counterpart emphasized regional peace and the broader implications on global energy shipping.
