During a telephone conversation with his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi stated that the development of bilateral ties between the two nations is being sabotaged by colonial powers. 

While congratulating Zardari for winning a second term as Pakistan’s president, Raisi said, "The development of Iran-Pakistan relations is not agreeable to colonial powers, and they are seeking to drive a wedge between the two Muslim countries."

He continued that the joint fight against terrorism must be reinforced, and stressed that enemies should not be given the door to apply their agendas, as he described the Israeli genocide in Gaza as "great sadness" for Muslim nations, and called on independent nations to exert pressure against "Israel".

Meanwhile, Zardari congratulated Iran and its people on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, and condemned the Israeli airstrike on the Iranian Embassy in the Syrian capital city of Damascus.

Zardari mirrored Raisi's call for the enhancement of bilateral relations and security cooperation and to condemn "Israel's" genocide in Gaza. 

Back in January, during a call with his Pakistani counterpart Jalil Abbas Jilani, Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stated that terrorists will never come between Iran and Pakistan improving their relationship, adding that the terrorists based along the Iran-Pakistan border areas are supported by hostile third parties.

He stated that many Iranian and Pakistani personnel have lost their lives in recent years in the fight against terrorism, emphasizing that this only pushes both countries to unite their strengths in fighting terrorism.

The call came a few days after Iran launched simultaneous drone and missile attacks on two bases of Jaish ul-Adl, a terrorist group formed in 2012, in Pakistan and has initiated several attacks on Iran in recent years.
