Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Engages in Phone Call with Iranian Foreign Minister Amid Escalating Tensions with India
Islamabad-In response to the escalating tensions between Pakistan and India, Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, held a telephone conversation with Iran's Foreign Minister, Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, on Friday evening.
Weezharoz-The discussion centered on the latest developments in Pakistan-India relations and explored potential avenues for regional stability.
During the call, Foreign Minister Dar briefed his Iranian counterpart on the recent incidents contributing to the heightened tensions with India.
He expressed appreciation for Iran’s constructive and responsible approach toward the situation, acknowledging Tehran’s longstanding commitment to regional peace and stability.
Foreign Minister Araghchi conveyed Iran’s deep concern over the deteriorating security situation in South Asia.
He emphasized the importance of restraint and patience from both Pakistan and India to prevent further escalation.
Highlighting Iran’s amicable relations with both nations, Araghchi reiterated Tehran’s readiness to employ its good offices to facilitate dialogue and reduce tensions between the two neighbors.
This diplomatic engagement follows a recent deadly attack in India-administered Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 individuals, predominantly Indian tourists.
The incident has significantly strained relations between Islamabad and New Delhi, leading to reciprocal diplomatic and economic measures, including visa suspensions and border closures.
Analysts suggest that Iran’s proactive involvement as a potential mediator could play a crucial role in de-escalating the situation and preventing further conflict in the region.
