Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has urged Pakistan and Afghanistan to resolve their escalating border tensions through dialogue, emphasizing the importance of peace during Ramadan. He offered Iran’s support in facilitating talks amid heightened cross-border violence following retaliatory strikes along the Durand Line. Afghanistan reported 55 Pakistani soldiers killed in its operations, while Pakistan launched "Operation Ghazab Lil Haq," claiming significant Taliban casualties and destruction of militant positions.
