Bakai: Iran-Pakistan relations are real, deep-rooted and independent of any mediation role.
Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
🔹 Iran-Pakistan relations have a deep, real and historical background; They are not limited to the mediation process between Iran and the US.
🔹 Iran was the first country to recognize the independence of Pakistan, and during the past decades there have always been excellent relations between the two countries. The choice of Pakistan as an intermediary is a result of this reliable base and strong ties.
🔹 While appreciating the constructive role played by Pakistan and other mediators, Iran sees the mediation mechanism as a useful tool for resolving international disputes and has extended maximum cooperation in this regard. 🔹 Historical records show that US overreach and irrational approaches have always been the main obstacle to the success of the mediators' diplomatic efforts.
