President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian is scheduled to visit Pakistan on July 26. According to Iranian Tasnim News, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei announced at a press conference on Monday that Pezeshkian will travel to Pakistan in the coming week.
Describing the upcoming presidential visit as a sign of the significance that Iran attaches to its relations with Pakistan, the spokesperson said the bilateral ties are based upon historical, cultural and religious understanding and mutual respect.
He noted that the contacts between Tehran and Islamabad have increased following the Israeli and US aggression against Iran.
He highlighted that following the Zionist regime’s attack on Iran from June 13, which targeted military, nuclear, and residential sites for 12 consecutive days, the United States launched airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan on June 22.
In response, Iranian forces launched powerful counterattacks. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force reportedly conducted 22 waves of missile strikes against Israeli targets under Operation True Promise III, inflicting significant damage across the occupied territories.
