Iranian officials reportedly welcomed Pakistan’s diplomatic outreach and its efforts to support dialogue at a time when direct communication between Iran and the United States remains limited.
Earlier, President Pezeshkian praised Pakistan’s role in promoting a ceasefire following the conflict imposed on Iran on February 28, according to Iran’s state media.
He also acknowledged the contributions of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, expressing hope that Pakistan’s diplomatic initiatives could help advance regional peace and stability.
Pezeshkian reiterated Iran’s desire to maintain sincere and stable ties with neighbouring Islamic countries, stressing that stronger unity among Muslim nations could reduce foreign interference in regional affairs.
He said coordination and solidarity among Islamic countries remain essential for achieving long-term peace and security in the Middle East.
Pakistan has recently positioned itself as a mediator in efforts to reduce tensions between Iran and the United States, with diplomatic channels reportedly being used to facilitate indirect communication.

Analysts say Naqvi’s extended visit signals Islamabad’s growing involvement in regional diplomacy and reflects Pakistan’s attempt to strengthen ties with Tehran while supporting de-escalation efforts between major regional and global actors.
The meetings come as hopes remain alive for the eventual restoration of broader Iran-US negotiations.
