In a message posted on the social media platform X, the Iranian Foreign Minister stressed that “both countries should address current issues within the framework of good neighborliness and dialogue during the holy month of Ramadan.”

Araqchi reaffirmed that the Islamic Republic maintains an approach based on resolving disputes through diplomatic channels and expressed Tehran’s readiness to provide all kinds of support to help resolve the disputes between Kabul and Islamabad and strengthen bilateral cooperation.

The Iranian Foreign Minister’s statements come amid escalating tensions on the Afghan-Pakistani border.

The day before, the Afghan government announced the launch of large-scale operations against Pakistani military positions along the shared border, in response to attacks carried out days earlier by Pakistani forces.

Last Sunday, Islamabad reported the bombing of seven sites it described as “terrorist camps” in border territory with Afghanistan, following a series of recent attacks on its territory.

In this context, Afghanistan delivered a note of protest to the Pakistani ambassador in Kabul and stated that it would respond “appropriately and thoughtfully” when it deemed the time appropriate.
