The talks also addressed regional peace and steps needed to restore an Islamabad-mediated memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at ending the war. Naqvi described the meetings as "very constructive" and noted that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian candidly shared his government's perspective, as reported by Reuters.
The MoU, signed in June between Iran and the United States, established a 60-day negotiation period intended to end their conflict. However, it collapsed last month over disagreements concerning control of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital energy transportation route in the Middle East. According to Al Jazeera, Pezeshkian emphasized that the U.S. must change its approach towards Iran and comply with the MoU.
The diplomatic efforts come amid heightened tensions, as the Trump administration warned of severe economic penalties for any country supporting Iran. Tehran has threatened to shut down all oil exports from the Gulf in response, per Reuters. The U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
