Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Wednesday that Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi is currently visiting Iran to conduct talks on regional security, stability, and bilateral relations. Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Tahir Andrabi stated in Islamabad that the minister is discussing constructive engagement among regional parties as Pakistan continues its role in mediating efforts to de-escalate Middle East tensions. The visit comes amid heightened regional tensions, with Iran establishing six conditions for the United States to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, including halting military operations, lifting sanctions and blockades, withdrawing US forces from its perimeter, paying war damages, and unfreezing Iranian assets. Conversely, Washington noted that Tehran pledged not to impose transit fees on ships and to maintain oil flow through the strait, supported by ongoing Omani-mediated negotiations regarding navigation frameworks. Tehran warned it would target regional infrastructure if the US executes threats against key facilities inside Iran, while instructing Houthi forces in Yemen to prepare for a potential closure of the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea should Iran's power grid be hit. Meanwhile, the US re-imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz following renewed clashes—the fiercest since an April ceasefire. Iran cautioned that the blockade's resumption undermines its memorandum of understanding with Washington. The broader conflict broke out on February 28 following joint strikes on Iran by Israel and the US, prompting Tehran to shut the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime corridor that historically handled nearly a fifth of global energy supplies.
