Iranian president PEZESHKIAN told Pakistan army chief Munir on the 24th that the
US should change its rhetoric and approach toward Iran, warning that reliance on
force and bullying will complicate diplomatic processes. He said Iran can
withstand pressure through internal unity, is willing to pursue multi-sector
cooperation with Islamic states and neighbors, and that greater Islamic-state
unity would help counter Israel and other external threats; he urged Pakistan to
use diplomacy to help de-escalate the region. Munir said Pakistan will continue
mediatory efforts, calling for careful diplomatic discussions to advance a
comprehensive agreement and hoping a settlement would open a new phase of
regional cooperation and collective security rebuilding.
