Iranian, Pakistani FMs stress restraint, dialogue based on MoU as path to regional stability
Iran and Pakistan have underscored the importance of restraint and dialogue for preserving regional stability during a phone conversation between their foreign ministers.
Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ishaq Dar, held a phone conversation with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, on Sunday to discuss the evolving regional situation, according to Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry.
The two sides emphasized the importance of pursuing de-escalation and restraint in line with the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
“Dialogue and diplomacy are the only appropriate means to resolve differences and achieve lasting peace and stability in the region,” Dar said.
The Pakistani foreign minister also reaffirmed Islamabad’s readiness to continue playing a constructive role in promoting and safeguarding regional peace and stability.
Earlier, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, called for an immediate end to tensions during a UN Security Council meeting and reiterated his country’s readiness to support efforts to strengthen the ceasefire and ensure lasting stability.
“Escalation serves no one’s interests, and existing opportunities should be used to resolve all differences through peaceful means,” he said.
The MoU, brokered by Pakistan after the latest round of US-Israeli aggression against Iran, established a ceasefire between Tehran and Washington.
The conversation comes amid renewed US aggression against coastal cities and military centers in southern Iran.
In response to these attacks, Iran’s Armed Forces launched coordinated drone and missile strikes against US military facilities in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain.
Earlier, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz “until further notice” over the unauthorized use of the strategic waterway by a container ship.
IRGC added that the strait would remain closed until Washington and its allies end their intervention in the region.
