Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar spoke by telephone with Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi on Thursday and called for sustained diplomacy to resolve regional tensions.

Pakistan, which shares a border with Iran, has sought a diplomatic role in regional tensions, while Oman has long served as a channel for dialogue between Iran and Western states.
