Iran urges India and Pakistan to exercise restraint

The Iranian government has called on both sides to exercise restraint in the conflict between India and Pakistan.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei described the recent military escalation as a serious cause for concern, according to a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry in Tehran. He expressed the hope that both sides could still de-escalate.

On Monday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was in the Pakistani capital Islamabad to mediate between the South Asian nuclear powers.

Tehran justifies its offer to mediate with its balanced relations with both states.

It is still unclear whether a trip to India planned for Thursday by the minister will take place as scheduled.

India attacked several targets in Pakistan and the Pakistani-controlled part of the troubled region of Kashmir. According to the Pakistani military, 26 people were killed and 46 others injured.
