Iran has expressed its willingness to mediate between Pakistan and Afghanistan to help ease rising tensions and promote dialogue between the two neighboring countries. The offer comes amid ongoing cross-border concerns and strained diplomatic relations.
According to Iranian media, Tehran emphasized that both Pakistan and Afghanistan are vital for regional stability, and Iran is ready to play a constructive role in reducing misunderstandings. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said that peaceful engagement and diplomatic talks are essential for sustainable peace in the region.
He added that Iran maintains friendly relations with both Islamabad and Kabul and believes dialogue is the best way to address security and border challenges. The statement followed recent clashes and political disagreements that have heightened tensions between the two countries.
Pakistan has repeatedly voiced its concerns over cross-border militant activity, urging Kabul to take strict measures against groups using Afghan soil for terrorism. Meanwhile, Afghanistan has accused Pakistan of cross-border shelling and interference, leading to a series of diplomatic exchanges.
Regional observers say Iran’s involvement could help lower tensions and foster cooperation on security, trade, and border management.
The offer highlights Tehran’s growing diplomatic outreach in South Asia, as Iran offers to help ease Pakistan-Afghanistan tensions through mutual understanding and dialogue. If accepted, the mediation could mark a key step toward restoring trust and ensuring long-term regional stability.
