Iranian media report that President Masoud Pezeshkian has engaged with leaders of 11 neighbouring and Muslim countries in the first 12 days of the Hijri solar year 1404 (March–April 2025) to mark Nowruz and Eid al-Fitr.
Notably, no Taliban officials were included in these discussions.
On Wednesday, IRNA news agency stated that Pezeshkian’s calls aimed to bolster ties with friendly, neighbouring, and allied nations in the face of threats and pressure from “bullying and arrogant enemies.”
Over the past 12 days, he spoke with the leaders of Uzbekistan, Iraq, Tajikistan, Algeria, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Qatar, Egypt, Oman, Malaysia, and Türkiye, according to the agency.
