Pakistan's government confirmed Monday that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will visit the country on Tuesday, according to Israeli media. The visit comes amid ongoing US-Iran mediation efforts in which Pakistan has been a key intermediary.
The Pakistani government officially confirmed Monday afternoon that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will travel to Pakistan on Tuesday, according to a report from Israeli media. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, this visit had been expected based on earlier reports from Al Arabiya, though the Pakistani government had not yet confirmed it at that time.
The visit builds on a series of high-level diplomatic interactions between Pakistan, Iran, and the United States over the past two weeks. Pakistan's foreign minister traveled to Geneva for US-Iran mediation talks on June 12; the Qatari delegation and Iran's foreign minister also visited Pakistan on June 14; and Pakistan's prime minister and army chief joined the talks in Switzerland on June 21, with a subsequent confirmation that a memorandum of understanding would be signed in Switzerland. The details of Tuesday's agenda and the duration of the Iranian president's visit have not yet been released.
