Iran, Pakistan discuss regional issues, ceasefire

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a series of telephone conversations with his Pakistani counterpart, the Pakistani army chief, and the President of Iraq's Kurdistan Region. The discussions focused on addressing potential border threats and regional security concerns as tensions with the United States remain high. The Pakistani envoy reportedly emphasized that "Pakistan will not abandon its efforts for peace." The calls indicate Iran is actively engaged in diplomatic efforts to manage a multi-layered crisis, including the threat of targeted assassinations and broader regional escalation.
