In an effort to defuse escalating tensions between Pakistan and Iran, Russia, Turkey, Afghanistan, and other nations have collectively called for maximum restraint and diplomatic solutions.
The recent conflict arose following an unprovoked missile strike by Iran, leading to casualties in Pakistan’s Balochistan region.
In response, Pakistan launched an overnight counterattack on militant targets in Iran.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stressed the importance of resolving differences through diplomacy to avoid regional chaos, emphasizing the shared membership of both countries in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO).
Turkey’s foreign ministry also urged restraint, emphasizing the need for resolving issues through friendship, brotherhood, and respect for sovereignty.
