Overview
- Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who met Iran’s president on Sunday, stayed in Tehran on Tuesday for a third day of talks to restart Iran–US dialogue.
- Naqvi’s Sunday session with President Masoud Pezeshkian lasted 90 minutes and included Iran’s interior minister and foreign minister, underscoring high-level engagement.
- Iranian officials praised Pakistan’s role, with Pezeshkian publicly thanking Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir for efforts linked to the current ceasefire.
- Pakistan broadened coordination as Shehbaz spoke with Qatar’s premier on Sunday and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar held Monday discussions with Qatar’s minister and Saudi Arabia’s ambassador, drawing support for continued diplomacy.
- The talks remain stuck, with Iran’s Fars News reporting five US conditions on any deal, while a fragile ceasefire and past disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz keep the risk of renewed fighting and energy shocks high.
