Saturday May 16th saw Pakistan’s interior minister arrive in Tehran in a bid to restart peace talks between the United States and Iran, according to Iranian media.
The regime-linked Tasnim news agency announced
Mohsin Naqvi arrived today in the Islamic Republic of Iran on an official two-day visit as part of Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to facilitate talks and promote regional peace.
Iranian interior minister Eskandar Momeni hosted Mr. Naqvi, as part of a process which has seen Pakistan jostle for regional influence. In April, Islamabad met with delegations from Washington and Tehran, showing a commitment to extending and strengthening the current April 9th ceasefire.
While Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi claims to have received constructive U.S. messaging about future peace talks, the Trump administration previously withdrew its envoys from a potential round of negotiations in Pakistan. Subsequently, Trump has described the ceasefire as on “life support.”
