      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330459295/naqvi-meets-iranian-president-as-pakistan-deepens-mediation-role</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Islamabad is actively facilitating back-channel diplomacy between Washington and Tehran, with Iran having recently submitted a 14-point plan in response to a US proposal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi held talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Tehran on Wednesday, discussing the progress of US-Iran negotiations and regional stability, as Islamabad intensifies its role as a mediator between the two sides.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The meeting, reported by &lt;em&gt;Al Jazeera&lt;/em&gt; citing Iran’s &lt;em&gt;Tasnim&lt;/em&gt; news agency, focused on the current regional situation and ongoing indirect talks between Tehran and Washington.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both sides stressed the importance of dialogue, regional cooperation, and continued engagement. President Pezeshkian praised Pakistan’s efforts to promote peace and stability in the region.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the visit, Naqvi also met IRGC Commander General Ahmad Vahidi and Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni, discussing bilateral relations, regional security, and matters of mutual interest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is Naqvi’s second visit to Tehran in less than a week, a frequency analysts say reflects the rapid pace of back-channel diplomacy and Pakistan’s ambition to cement its role as a key intermediary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iran has recently submitted a 14-point plan in response to the latest US proposal, with Pakistan facilitating the exchange of positions between the two sides.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei confirmed earlier on Wednesday that Tehran had received a new American proposal and was examining it, adding that Naqvi’s presence was “aimed at facilitating the exchange of messages.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During his previous visit, Naqvi held a 90-minute meeting with President Pezeshkian, covering bilateral relations and diplomatic affairs. He also met Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Diplomatic sources say Pakistan has been actively working in recent months to reduce tensions between Iran and the United States, having previously facilitated contacts and dialogue between the two countries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Analysts note that Naqvi’s repeated trips to Tehran signal that Islamabad is positioning itself as an indispensable player in one of the region’s most consequential diplomatic processes.&lt;/p&gt;
