Iran’s foreign minister has held talks with top Pakistani officials to try and mediate in the escalation between Islamabad and New Delhi after last month’s deadly attack on tourists in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir.

Will Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi hold talks with his Indian counterpart so that the tension is defused before New Delhi takes any military action against Islamabad? He will visit Islamabad and New Delhi after the Pahalgam attack.

India said it attacked nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir early on Wednesday following a deadly attack on its side of the Himalayan territory last month, while Pakistan reported some casualties and said it was responding.
