Iran values Pakistan’s unwavering support.

Dr. Raza Amiri Moghaddam, the Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan, on Monday praised Pakistan’s proactive and steadfast support for Iran amid the recent regional escalation.

In an interview with a private news channel, the envoy stated that Pakistan has assumed the most significant role among all allied nations, and the Iranian populace holds this support in high regard.

He stated, “The government, populace, and media of Pakistan expressed unwavering support for us.” Pakistan provided comprehensive support at international platforms, including the UN Security Council and the IAEA Board of Governors. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defence of Pakistan extended full cooperation.

The ambassador stated that India did not extend any support to Iran during the conflict, implying that India is under U.S. influence and sustains strong relations with Israel.

Dr. Amiri commended the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for its unusually robust condemnation of the Israeli assaults, recognising enhanced efficacy relative to previous instances.

He commended the contributions of the Arab League and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), asserting that “they all supported us.”

He elucidated that Iran’s reaction was defensive, as the hostility originated from Israel.

The conflict commenced due to their provocations. Any prospective ceasefire is contingent upon their actions. Their incurred losses may dissuade them from resuming hostilities in the near future; however, should they perceive a viable chance of victory, they will not hesitate to initiate conflict once more.

The ambassador acknowledged China’s and Russia’s support for Iran at the UN, along with Pakistan, Algeria, and Türkiye, emphasising global diplomatic relations.
