(File pic: AFP) In a concerted push to defuse escalating tensions across West Asia, Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has departed Islamabad for Tehran, marking his sixth official visit to the Iranian capital since regional hostilities broke out.

The diplomatic mission comes at a delicate juncture in negotiations surrounding a proposed Strait of Hormuz Framework aimed at securing critical maritime trade corridors and preventing broader regional escalation between Washington and Tehran. Carrying a special strategic message from Pakistan’s top leadership, Naqvi is scheduled to engage in high-level discussions with senior Iranian officials and national security representatives. Islamabad has steadily positioned itself as a central diplomatic bridge throughout the crisis, leveraging its long-standing proximity to regional actors to facilitate communication channels and establish terms for de-escalation.

As the Strait of Hormuz talks reach an advanced phase, Naqvi’s repeated visits underscore the urgency of securing concrete guarantees regarding maritime navigation and regional stability. Pakistani officials view the mediation process as essential to preventing disruptions to regional energy supplies and mitigating the broader economic and security spillover across neighboring South Asia.
