Pezeshkian made these remarks during a meeting on Monday evening with visiting Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi in Tehran.
He underscored that cooperation among Islamic countries is an undeniable necessity in the face of ongoing challenges.
“If Muslim governments and communities recognize the significance of the unity of the Islamic Ummah, they can effectively unite against the Zionist regime, which thrives by creating division and perpetrating injustices in Islamic societies,” Pezeshkian stated.
The president urged policymakers and leaders in the Islamic world to be mindful of Israel’s harmful strategies and to counteract them by nurturing unity and collaboration among Muslim nations.
“The Zionist regime aims to weaken and fragment the ranks of Muslims,” Pezeshkian remarked, stressing the need for a collective response to this malicious agenda.
Pezeshkian also expressed satisfaction with the current state of bilateral relations between Iran and Pakistan, highlighting the importance of diplomatic exchanges and constructive dialogues to enhance comprehensive cooperation.
He appreciated Pakistan's steadfast support during the 12-day imposed war against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“The potential for expanding cooperation between our two countries is significant, and the Islamic Republic of Iran is fully ready to utilize these opportunities to strengthen relations and improve the effectiveness of our interactions,” he remarked.
During the meeting, Pakistani Interior Minister Naqvi conveyed the greetings of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and congratulated the Iranian nation on its resilience against the recent aggression from the Zionist regime.
He noted, “We believe that the wise leadership of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with his prudence and management, played a decisive role in this proud resistance, which is a source of pride for the entire Islamic nation.”
Naqvi reiterated Pakistan's prompt and clear condemnation of the Zionist regime's aggression, stating, “Pakistan was among the first countries to denounce the aggression and reaffirm the legitimate right of the Islamic Republic of Iran to defend itself.”
On June 13, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked act of aggression against Iran, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary civilians.
More than a week later, the United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces targeted strategic sites across the occupied territories as well as the al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.
On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the illegal assault.
