Iran ready to mediate Pakistan-India peace efforts: President Pezeshkian

President Masoud Pezeshkian has expressed Iran’s readiness to broker lasting peace between Pakistan and India.

Pezeshkian made the remarks during a telephone conversation with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday.

The Iranian president said that Iran's principled policy focuses on promoting de-escalation and fostering peace globally, particularly within the Islamic world.

“The Islamic Republic welcomes any measures and efforts towards establishing lasting peace between Pakistan and India, and it can play a mediating role to that aim,” he added.

He also congratulated the Pakistani prime minister on the Islamic Feast of Sacrifice, Eid al-Adha, emphasizing the need for unity among Muslim nations.

Accepting Sharif’s invitation to visit Pakistan, Pezeshkian said that he had ordered his administration to explore ways of bolstering Tehran-Islamabad relations.

The Pakistani prime minister, for his part, extended the Eid al-Adha greetings and conveyed best wishes to the Iranian nation and Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

He further recalled his recent visit to Tehran, where he held productive discussions on defense, security, economic, and other matters.

Sharif also expressed hope that bilateral agreements signed between Pakistan and Iran will be implemented.

Meanwhile, the prime minister proposed that an Iranian delegation visit Pakistan prior to President Pezeshkian's future trip to the country.

Commending Iran's position on the Pakistan-India tensions, he reaffirmed Islamabad's commitment to dialogue with New Delhi to achieve peace and welcomed Iran's mediation in that regard.

In May, India and Pakistan engaged in the most intense fighting in decades that included fighter jets, missiles, and explosive-laden drones. The four-day conflict ended with a ceasefire.
