Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has called on India and Pakistan to avoid further escalation following recent airstrikes and mounting tensions over Kashmir, emphasizing the need for regional peace and stability.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi urged India and Pakistan to exercise restraint following a surge in tensions sparked by recent cross-border strikes. His remarks came during a visit to New Delhi, where he is attending a joint economic commission, Iranian state media reported.
“We hope that India and Pakistan will prevent the escalation of tension in the region,” Araqchi said, reiterating a similar appeal made earlier this week during his trip to Islamabad.
India launched airstrikes on what it described as “terrorist camps” inside Pakistani territory in response to a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir last month. Pakistan strongly denied the existence of such camps and said the strikes killed at least 31 civilians. Islamabad also vowed to respond.
New Delhi has warned that any Pakistani retaliation would trigger further Indian military action, heightening fears of a wider conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
Despite the mounting hostilities, Araqchi emphasized the importance of diplomacy and regional cooperation. “Our region needs peace, especially to expand economic cooperation between regional countries, and we hope this will happen,” he stated.
His visit, planned prior to the current tensions, comes at a critical moment as the international community watches closely to see whether India and Pakistan can avoid further confrontation.
