Mohsin Naqvi Delivers Syed Asim Munir Message to Iran’s Supreme Leader in Tehran

Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi is set to visit Tehran this Saturday to strengthen the strategic agenda between Pakistan and Iran, flying from Lahore to the Iranian capital.

teleSUR English says Naqvi had already held two high-level bilateral meetings with his Iranian counterpart, Minister Eskandar Momeni, to coordinate common positions.

The Express Tribune reports that Naqvi arrived in Tehran carrying what an informed source described as an important message from Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.

IRNA English adds that Naqvi met Eskandar Momeni on Saturday night and said he is in Iran once again to deliver a message to Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.

The Express Tribune also says the visit comes after consultations in Islamabad, including discussions with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, with no official details disclosed about the message’s contents.

IRNA English quotes Naqvi as reportedly carrying a message from Pakistani army chief Field Marshal Munir to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.

The Express Tribune frames the same mission as Naqvi carrying CDF Munir’s “message” to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, received by his counterpart Eskandar Momeni.

Anadolu Ajansı reports that Naqvi said he was carrying a message from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir to Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei concerning current regional developments.

Anadolu Ajansı also includes Naqvi’s statement: "I think this is an important message," as he expressed hope that regional crises could be resolved through diplomacy.

IRNA English says Eskandar Momeni told Naqvi that Pakistan is a very large country and that they have “a religious and cultural shared history and many commonalities with each other.”

Shafaq News says Naqvi stated that an “important” message from Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will be delivered to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

Shafaq News reports that Naqvi was expected to discuss new proposals aimed at breaking the deadlock in US-Iran negotiations and reaching a temporary understanding, particularly on the issue of Iran’s frozen assets, estimated at around $24 billion.

Al Ghad newspaper’s account says the fragile ceasefire reached on April 8 with Pakistani mediation remains susceptible to collapse due to ongoing violations, following a war that began on February 28.

Al Arabiya’s Tehran correspondent Hazem Kalas is cited in the Al Arabiya-linked article saying Tehran says it will not allow Washington to keep the 'no war, no peace' equation.

teleSUR English says Naqvi’s talks in Tehran are expected to continue agreements on regional security, the fight against transnational crime, and trade facilitation at shared border crossings.
