Iranian President promotes a foreign policy of 'regional diplomacy'

In a series of statements released on May 29, 2026, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized his administration's commitment to strengthening ties with Muslim and neighboring countries. According to the state news agency IRNA, these remarks were made following phone calls the President held with the Prime Ministers of Malaysia and Pakistan on the occasion of Eid al-Adha.

Pezeshkian noted on his X account that he thanked the Prime Minister of Pakistan for his "initiatives and effective efforts" to reach agreements, and also expressed appreciation for Malaysia's humanitarian positions. The President's central message, as reported by various channels including Iran International, Akharin Khabar, and Hamian-e Pezeshkian, is that "the policy of the Iranian government is to expand cooperation with Muslim and neighboring countries in all areas."

The sources reporting on the event include a variety of Telegram channels, among them a group of channels identified with the rapid reporting stream (خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری and others). While the IRNA agency is considered the official mouthpiece of the administration in Tehran, the Iran International channel, known for its criticism of the Iranian regime, covered the President's statement factually as part of a report on the current conduct of Iranian diplomacy.
