In a recent development, UN Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed profound concern over the escalating tensions between Pakistan and Iran, emphasising the urgen­cy of the situation and urging both nations to de-escalate. This emphasis on peaceful resolution resonates not only with the United Nations but also with other nations and international organisations. Rus­sia, as a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) alongside Iran and Pakistan, has called for maximum restraint and emphasises the importance of diplomatic solutions. The international community’s collective call for restraint and peace underscores the urgency of diplomatic solutions to pre­vent further escalation and foster stability in the region. As the world watches this unfold, a collective effort toward peace is para­mount to prevent further escalation and ensure peace in the region.
