Iran offers help in restoring India-Pakistan relations after Pahalgam terror attack
Iran on Friday offered its help in mending relations between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack.
Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said Tehran stands ready to use its good offices in Islamabad and New Delhi to “forge greater understanding at this difficult time”.
In a post on X, Araghchi drew attention to how India and Pakistan are “brotherly neighbours” of Iran, enjoying relations rooted in centuries-old cultural and civilisational ties and how, like other neighbours, Iran considers the two of them as “our foremost priority”.
“Tehran stands ready to use its good offices in Islamabad and New Delhi to forge greater understanding at this difficult time, in line with the spirit taught by Persian poet Saadi,” Araghchi said in the post.
The lines by Saadi he invoked are: 'Human beings are members of a whole, In creation of one essence and soul; If one member is inflicted with pain, Other members uneasy will remain.'
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud spoke to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on the Pahalgam attack.
