Speaking in an informal interaction with the media in Lahore, the interior minister expressed optimism that tensions between Iran and the United States would soon be resolved and that a peace agreement would be finalized.
“Good News Expected Soon”
Mohsin Naqvi stated that progress on the Iran–US deal is moving in a positive direction and that “good news” regarding the agreement is likely to emerge shortly.
He said that diplomatic efforts are underway to de-escalate tensions and move toward a peaceful settlement between the two countries.
According to him, Pakistan is closely monitoring developments and remains engaged at the diplomatic level as part of broader regional stability efforts.

Claims of Economic Stability Measures
Mohsin Naqvi also referred to domestic economic management, particularly fuel pricing.
