  "textContent": "WEB DESK: Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has departed for Tehran to hold high-level talks with senior Iranian officials, in a bid to advance ongoing negotiations between Iran and the United States, official sources confirmed on Saturday.\n\nThe visit follows a telephonic conversation between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Thursday, which was the first official contact since the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).\n\nPM Sharif congratulated the Iranian leadership, emphasising that the positive outcomes of the agreement would serve as a catalyst for benefiting the wider region.\n\n#### Diplomatic Momentum\n\nAccording to the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Naqvi will follow up on the progress of the US–Iran peace talks.\n\nThe interior minister has travelled to Tehran multiple times since Islamabad assumed its role as the primary mediator after conflict broke out in February following US and Israeli strikes on Iran.\n\nDuring his last official visit on June 7, Naqvi held bilateral meetings with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni.\n\nThe latest diplomatic push coincides with reports from US media outlet _Axios_ indicating that US envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi are headed to Switzerland for talks.\n\nThe revival of the Swiss track comes on the heels of a ceasefire reached between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon late on Friday, which has breathed new life into efforts to transition an interim war pact into a lasting regional agreement.\n\n#### Terms of the Islamabad Accord\n\nThe critical peace talks in Switzerland had faced temporary postponement on Friday due to the escalation in southern Lebanon, casting brief uncertainty over the next phase of negotiations following the June 18 Islamabad MoU. However later, both Iranian FM Araghchi and US envoy Witkoff headed to Switzerland to commence the upcoming round of talks.\n\nEarlier, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar extended his wishes for success to his Iranian counterpart ahead of the next phase, expressing hope for smooth progress and positive outcomes.\n\nThe agreement calls for the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the easing of international restrictions on Iranian oil exports, and the launch of a 60 day window dedicated to negotiating a broader settlement over Iran’s nuclear program.\n\nPakistan continues to facilitate these vital backchannel communications, coordinating its diplomatic efforts alongside key regional players including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Türkiye, Egypt, and China.\n\nThe post Mohsin Naqvi heads to Tehran to push forward US-Iran peace talks following Islamabad MoU appeared first on HUM News English.",
