Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian proposed creating a regional security framework made up of West Asian countries to preserve peace and stability without foreign interference, Iran’s embassy in India said on Saturday.
The proposal came in a phone call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to a statement posted by the embassy on X. The statement said Pezeshkian also told Modi that ending the war required an immediate halt to US and Israeli attacks and guarantees they would not be repeated.
The embassy said Pezeshkian urged BRICS, under India’s rotating presidency, to play an independent role in stopping what he described as “aggression against Iran.”
Reuters reported that India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi says in a post on X that he has spoken with Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian.
Modi says he condemned attacks on critical infrastructure in the Middle East region, while also reiterating the importance of ensuring that shipping lanes remain open and secure.
“Appreciated Iran’s continued support for the safety and security of Indian nationals in Iran,” Modi added.
