Pakistan Claims Iran Supported It During May 2025 India Conflict; Iran Urged Restraint
Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar claimed that Iran provided strong support to Islamabad during the May 2025 military conflict with India, as well as during Iran's own conflicts with the US and Israel. Dar highlighted improved Pakistan-Iran relations and mentioned his May 2025 visit to Iran to thank its leadership. However, Iran's public stance during the India-Pakistan clash emphasized restraint and de-escalation, and neither side detailed the nature of the alleged support.
