 "Iran offers to mediate between India and Pakistan amid post-Pahalgam tensions")
Iran has extended an offer to mediate between India and Pakistan following the deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam town, which killed at least 28 people, including foreign nationals on April 22.
The attack, widely seen as the most devastating in the region since the 2019 Pulwama strike has sparked renewed tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister, took to social media to express Tehran’s readiness to assist in easing the tensions between India and Pakistan. Araghchi highlighted the long-standing cultural and civilisational ties between the two countries, emphasising Iran’s commitment to fostering peace in the region.
India and Pakistan are brotherly neighbors of Iran, enjoying relations rooted in centuries-old cultural and civilizational ties. Like other neighbors, we consider them our foremost priority.
