Political phone call between Tehran and Islamabad
Iranian Foreign Minister, Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, held a phone conversation last night with the Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Muhammad Ishaq Dar. According to the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the parties discussed the "regional situation and Pakistan's diplomatic efforts for peace and stability in the region."
Sources identified with the Iranian establishment, including Fars News Agency and IRNA, reported that the conversation focused on "ending the forced war of the United States and the Zionist entity against Iran." Fars Agency, known for its hardline and critical stance toward Israel and the US, emphasized that this was a conversation aimed at conducting urgent diplomatic efforts.
In addition, several internal media outlets in Iran, including the 'Akharin Khabar' channel and Sputnik Afghanistan, reported that Abbas Araghchi expressed special appreciation for "Pakistan's constructive role as a mediator between Iran and the United States." This statement highlights the official Iranian attempt to present Pakistan as a key factor in managing tensions with Washington.
These reports are in line with publications in Al-Arabiya Persian, which often reports from a critical perspective regarding Iranian policy, which also noted the occurrence of the conversation but focused on a more official and laconic description of the Pakistani mediation attempts.
