Iran Calls for Calm: Offers Support to India and Pakistan in Reducing Tensions

In a recent development, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has urged both India and Pakistan to exercise restraint amidst rising tensions. His remarks come as Iran expresses its willingness to mediate and promote peace between these neighboring nations.

Araqchi engaged in a phone conversation with Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, on Friday evening, where they discussed the latest updates in India-Pakistan relations. This dialogue is crucial as tensions have surged following a deadly attack on a tourist group on Tuesday near Pahalgam in southern Kashmir, which has been described as one of the most severe terror incidents in the region for years.

Key Points from the Discussion:

  • Araqchi emphasized Iran’s strong ties with both India and Pakistan.
  • He conveyed Iran’s readiness to assist in reducing tensions and enhancing regional stability.
  • Senator Ishaq Dar appreciated Iran’s efforts to de-escalate the situation.
  • Dar provided insights into the current status of Pakistan-India relations and dismissed India’s claims against Pakistan.
  • He also expressed hope for Iran’s success in the upcoming indirect negotiations with the United States in Muscat.

Furthermore, Pakistan’s Defense Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, has called for an international investigation into the recent terror attack that resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals in the India-controlled territory. In his statements, Asif reaffirmed Pakistan’s position, declaring the country’s innocence and its readiness to cooperate with any international inspection.

Asif stated, “We do not want this war to flare up, because flaring up of this war can cause disaster for this region.” His remarks underline the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation.
