Iran warns of ceasefire violations in Lebanon, seeks Pakistan's help to de-escalate

By The South Asia Times

ISLAMABAD – Iran's top diplomat has expressed serious concern over recent ceasefire violations in Lebanon by Israel and potential attacks on parts of Beirut, urging Pakistan to use its diplomatic influence to help de-escalate the situation.

According to a statement released by Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar spoke by telephone with Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi to discuss the current regional situation and developments of mutual interest.

Foreign Minister Araghchi conveyed "serious concern over recent developments in the region, including ceasefire violations in Lebanon by Israel and the orders by the Israeli government regarding potential attack in parts of Beirut," the statement read.

The Iranian diplomat also appreciated Pakistan's "constructive role in regional diplomacy" and formally requested that Pakistan "continue using its good offices to help facilitate de-escalation in the current situation and support efforts to maintain the ceasefire."

Deputy Prime Minister Dar conveyed Pakistan's "serious concern" over the developments and emphasized the importance of ensuring that the ceasefire is sustained "in order to prevent any breakdown of existing understandings."

Both leaders agreed to remain in close contact as the situation evolves.

The concerns come just days after a landmark US-Iran peace deal was announced, following intensive mediation efforts by Pakistan's Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir. That agreement, which includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, was seen as a major diplomatic breakthrough aimed at ending hostilities across the region.

However, the latest Israeli actions in Lebanon suggest that tensions remain high, and the ceasefire architecture remains fragile. Pakistan, which has emerged as a key diplomatic player in Middle East peace efforts, is now being called upon once again to help prevent a collapse of the current understandings.
