Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Pakistan on an official visit as part of Tehran's initiative to reduce tensions between Pakistan and India.
Upon arrival at Islamabad Airport, he was received by senior officials from Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Iranian ambassador.
According to the Foreign Office spokesperson, the Iranian foreign minister will hold meetings with the President, Prime Minister, and Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan.
During his visit, Araghchi will discuss bilateral relations, regional developments, and global issues.
Reports also suggest that the Iranian foreign minister is scheduled to visit India later this week as part of the same diplomatic effort.
Despite all efforts, India is facing diplomatic isolation over the Pahalgam False Flag Operation, as major global powers continue to reject New Delhi's narrative of aggression.
According to Radio Pakistan, Russia has now joined the chorus, with its Foreign Minister advising India to resolve all outstanding issues with Pakistan through dialogue.
Previously, both the United States and the European Union have urged India to engage in negotiations with Pakistan to settle disputes diplomatically.
In a further development, Switzerland has offered to assist Pakistan in investigating the Pahalgam incident, signaling growing international scrutiny of India’s actions.
Defence analysts opine that the United States, the European Union, and now Russia's advice to resolve matters through dialogue reflects India's diplomatic isolation.
Sajid Tarar Warns Against Escalation, Backs Diplomacy
Sajid Tarar, head of Muslims for Trump, highlighted the global risks of a third war amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. He said both India and Pakistan must seek diplomatic solutions. “The U.S. and Europe cannot afford another war. That’s why the U.S. is urging both sides to talk,” he said.
He linked the timing of the Pahalgam attack to upcoming elections in Bihar, India, and noted that Indian Prime Minister Modi's popularity is declining. “Even within India, serious questions are being raised,” Tarar observed, adding that the international community, including the EU, is rejecting India’s narrative.
Referring to Republican Senator JD Vance’s remarks during his visit to India, Tarar noted, “He clearly said the world won’t stand with you without evidence.” He called the Pahalgam incident an act of terrorism and reminded that Pakistan itself has been a victim of terrorism. He praised the Pakistan Army’s record and asserted, “If any event occurs now, the Pakistan military will defend the nation.”
Tarar stated that the danger of war seems to have subsided for now and confirmed that Trump remains serious about resolving the Afghanistan issue. He also warned about the abandoned U.S. weapons in Afghanistan, calling them a regional threat. “Both the U.S. and Pakistan are aligned in addressing this threat,” he said, stressing that the U.S. will ensure those weapons are recovered.
