Pakistani Interior Minister visits Tehran for US-Iran talks

Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi arrived in Tehran on Saturday for high-level talks aimed at reviving dialogue between the United States and Iran, as renewed military strikes threaten a fragile regional ceasefire. The visit marks an escalation of Pakistan's diplomatic mediation efforts amid heightened tensions following a series of tit-for-tat attacks between Washington and Tehran.

The latest escalation occurred on Friday when the U.S. military reported striking radar sites in Iran after downing drones headed toward the Strait of Hormuz. Shortly after, air raid sirens sounded in Kuwait and Bahrain, with reports of explosions heard in both Gulf nations. Iran's Revolutionary Guards stated they had targeted enemy bases with missiles in response to what they described as a U.S. invasion of Iran's Sirik and Qeshm islands. U.S. Central Command said Iran launched seven ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain, with six intercepted and one failing to reach its target. The command stated there were no reports of harm to U.S. personnel and denied Iranian claims of damaging the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain.
