According to reports from Iranian state news agency IRNA and DPA, Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi arrived in Tehran on the evening of June 6.
Iran's semi-official ISNA news agency reported that Naqvi is expected to deliver a letter from Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.
Munir has been a key figure in facilitating the U.S.-Iran peace talks held in Islamabad and is known to have direct communication with U.S. President Donald Trump.
As Naqvi is considered close to Munir, there are expectations that he will convey messages aimed at promoting dialogue between Iran and the U.S.
Naqvi first met with Iran's Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni. He is also scheduled to meet with high-ranking Iranian officials, including President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
In related developments, Lebanese Army Commander Rudolf Haikal is also reported to be heading to Pakistan. Reuters noted that while the Lebanese side did not disclose specific reasons for the visit, it appears to be at the invitation of Pakistan.
Iran has set a ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah as a precondition for peace negotiations with the U.S. Conversely, Lebanon has stated that the ceasefire issue should be addressed separately from U.S.-Iran negotiations, raising the possibility of Pakistan mediating on this matter.
However, Iran and the U.S. continue to exchange limited attacks while maintaining an official ceasefire.
On June 6, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it fired upon four oil tankers attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without permission.
In retaliation, the U.S. shot down a suicide drone launched by Iran targeting the tankers and struck Iranian coastal bases.
