Larijani hails Pakistan’s stance during Israeli war ahead of visit
“Today, I am traveling to Pakistan, our friendly and brotherly country in the region”, Larijani wrote in a post on his X account.
“Iranians do not forget that during the 12-day war by the Zionist regime and the United States against Iran, the Pakistani nation stood by the Iranian nation,” he added.
On June 13, Israel launched an unprovoked war against Iran, killing dozens of high-ranking military commanders and nuclear scientists as well as hundreds of civilians.
More than a week later, the US also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
On June 24, Iran, through its retaliatory strikes against both Israel and the US, imposed a halt to the assault.
Larijani underscored that Iran and Pakistan are “two important and influential countries” in ensuring regional stability, adding that Tehran attaches great importance to maintaining fraternal relations among regional states.
In October, during a meeting with Pakistan’s Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Naqvi in Tehran, Larijani underlined the geopolitical importance of both countries in regional equations.
He also emphasized the need to deepen cooperation in security, defense, political, and especially economic fields.
