Iranian media reported that Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi arrived in Tehran on an undeclared visit to hold talks with Iranian officials amid rising regional tensions.

The visit coincides with reports suggesting that the United States and Israel are preparing for the possibility of resuming military operations against Iran following stalled diplomatic efforts.

The New York Times quoted officials as saying that Washington is considering new military options, while U.S. President Donald Trump renewed threats toward Tehran should negotiations fail to produce an agreement.
