Iran's Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni arrived in Islamabad tonight leading a political delegation for negotiations on strengthening bilateral cooperation between Iran and Pakistan, according to Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt.
Tonight, Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni arrived in Islamabad leading a political delegation for bilateral talks, according to Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The arrival follows a day of anticipatory reports.
On Sunday, July 19, at 14:37 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported in a series of updates that a Pakistani interior ministry source told N12 and Al-Mayadeen that Momeni would lead a six-minister delegation and meet the army chief. Earlier reports from Al-Jazeera cited a source saying he was carrying a letter from President Masoud Pezeshkian concerning negotiations. The delegation's composition and the minister's schedule have not been confirmed in this report.
The visit comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts in which Pakistan has served as a mediator between Iran and the United States, a channel The Zioneer has previously reported on—most recently on June 12, when Pakistan's foreign minister traveled to Geneva for mediation talks, and in earlier background reports.
Details of the talks, including the size of the delegation and whether Momeni will meet with Pakistani military leadership as earlier anticipated, remain unconfirmed.
