FIGS seminar speakers urge Muslim unity and warn of regional conflict risks
Speakers at a Forum of Information Group Secretaries seminar in Islamabad on Saturday called for Muslim unity and warned that tensions between Iran, the US and Israel could spark wider regional confrontation.
Iranian ambassador outlines historical context
Dr Reza Amiri Moghadam traced current hostility to decades of pressure on Tehran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. He noted that sanctions, terrorism and an eight-year war with Iraq have sustained this confrontation. The ambassador maintained that Iran's nuclear programme remains peaceful and has cooperated with the IAEA since 2003.
Diplomatic challenges shape regional outlook
The US withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in 2018 intensified the crisis surrounding Iran's nuclear programme. Dr Moghadam stated that Tehran remains committed to independent policies despite external pressure and sanctions. Former ambassador Ashraf Jahangir Qazi highlighted diplomatic challenges Pakistan could face in this environment.
