Iran's interior minister is now expected to arrive in Pakistan tonight leading a delegation of six ministers, according to a Pakistani interior ministry source cited by N12 and Al-Mayadeen. The minister is also scheduled to meet with the army chief. This update adds specificity to earlier reports: the size of the delegation and the timing (tonight) were not previously disclosed.
The Zioneer reported on Sunday, July 19 at 14:37 Jerusalem that the minister was expected to visit Pakistan carrying a letter from President Masoud Pezeshkian concerning negotiations, and would meet with the prime minister and army commander. That report followed an initial Al-Mayadeen report that the visit would be a one-day trip without a stated purpose. The source's description of the letter's subject evolved from 'regional situation' (Al-Jazeera) to 'negotiations' (subsequent reports). The new details about the six-minister delegation and the meeting with the military chief emerge from the same official source.
As The Zioneer reported on Monday, Gulf foreign ministers met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Bahrain seeking reassurances on the emerging Iran deal, and Israeli officials are expected in Washington amid difficulties in the Iran talks. The visit by Iran's interior minister to Pakistan takes place against this backdrop of regional diplomatic activity.
It remains unclear whether the letter the minister is carrying addresses the nuclear negotiations specifically or other regional issues. The exact time of arrival tonight has not been confirmed, and it is not yet independently verified that the prime minister will meet the delegation.
