In a telephone conversation on Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and his Pakistani counterpart Muhammad Ishaq Dar talked about the regional developments and the ceasefire agreement that has put a halt to the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, while emphasizing continued consultations to support peace and stability in the region.
Araqchi expressed appreciation for Pakistan’s good offices and mediation in the ceasefire-related negotiations.
He described provocative actions and the continued violations of the ceasefire by the United States—particularly threats against and interference with Iranian commercial vessels—as well as contradictory positions and threatening rhetoric against Iran, as a major obstacle to the continuation of the diplomatic process.
Araqchi added that the Islamic Republic of Iran will make its decision on how to proceed with the talks, taking all aspects into consideration.
Both foreign ministers stressed the importance of continued consultations to help strengthen peace and stability in the region.
