Pakistan’s interior minister due in Tehran for talks, Iranian media says

Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi is expected in Tehran as part of ongoing efforts to mediate peace talks between the United States and Iran, according to Iranian media citing an informed source. This visit underscores Pakistan's growing role as a key intermediary in the Middle East conflict.

there had been “no significant progress” in negotiations with the US over the previous few days

Islamabad has emerged as a crucial mediator in recent months, notably playing a leading role in negotiating a temporary ceasefire in April. Naqvi's presence in Tehran signals a continued commitment to facilitating dialogue between the two nations.

Despite these diplomatic efforts, the exact status of the negotiations between Washington and Tehran remains uncertain. Significant obstacles persist, particularly concerning Iran's nuclear program and the status of its overseas frozen assets. These issues are likely to be central to any potential peace deal.

talks are going “very well.”

Recent statements from both sides have offered conflicting perspectives on the progress of the talks. While U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested that negotiations are progressing well, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi indicated earlier this week that there had been "no significant progress" in recent days. Nevertheless, Araghchi confirmed that communication channels remain open, with messages being exchanged between the parties.

a potential peace deal between the US and Iran hinges on the Trump administration agreeing to release $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets.
