In a significant diplomatic exchange, President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran has extended heartfelt condolences to the Indian government and its citizens following a tragic terror attack near Pahalgam in southern Kashmir. This incident highlights the urgent need for enhanced regional cooperation to combat terrorism effectively.

During a phone call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday evening, Pezeshkian condemned the heinous act, stating, “The Islamic Republic strongly condemns such terrorist and inhumane acts.” He emphasized the importance of collective action among regional nations, saying:

  • “These bitter incidents double the shared responsibility of all regional countries.”
  • “We must root out terrorism to ensure lasting peace and tranquility for our nations through empathy, solidarity, and close cooperation.”

Pezeshkian also reflected on the enduring legacy of India’s revered leaders, such as Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. He expressed hope that their messages of peace and peaceful coexistence will continue to guide India’s relations with other nations.

Furthermore, the Iranian president expressed optimism regarding the enhancement of bilateral cooperation, particularly through the strategic Chabahar port. He stated:

“We hope that the implementation process of joint projects will be accelerated to achieve tangible and effective results.”

Additionally, Pezeshkian extended an official invitation to Modi to visit Tehran, aiming to explore opportunities for expanding comprehensive cooperation in a friendly and constructive atmosphere.

In response, Prime Minister Modi expressed gratitude for Pezeshkian’s call and extended sympathy, highlighting Iran’s understanding of India’s suffering due to its own experiences. He agreed with Pezeshkian’s assertion that:

  • The fight against terrorism necessitates unity and comprehensive cooperation among regional countries.

Modi noted that relations between Iran and India are progressing positively, with New Delhi committed to strengthening these ties across various dimensions. He affirmed:

“The Indian government supports the Islamic Republic’s efforts to enhance regional and global stability.”

He also stressed the importance of diplomatic resolutions to disputes, including those involving Iran and the United States. In a show of solidarity, Modi expressed deep sorrow over the recent explosion at Shahid Rajaee Port in southern Iran and offered assistance to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

As these diplomatic discussions unfold, the call for regional unity against terrorism becomes increasingly vital for fostering peace and stability.
