Iran's embassy in India said the Iranian foreign minister will visit India after a stop in Islamabad, where he will hold talks with Pakistani officials. Although not formal, India and Iran may discuss the evolving situation with Pakistan. Iran will push for a downgrade, but India insists that if Pakistan’s revengeers, India will boast all its guns toward Islamabad. Pakistan may also ask Iran to mediate between the two countries, but fears it will escalate.
However, there are many more visits to India. Iran offered to mediate downgrades when tensions broke out between India and Pakistan following the Pahargam attack. However, India has rejected any third-party mediation. On April 25, the Iranian Foreign Minister called for peace to prevail in nearby X posts. His appeal for peace comes after the despicable Pahalgam terrorist attacks in Jamu and Kashmir on April 22, targeting the targeted tourists, killing 26 people.
