Amid escalating tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited Tehran seeking support. Meeting with Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Sharif highlighted the Kashmir conflict and recent Indian airstrikes. However, Khamenei offered a measured response, expressing hope for peaceful resolution between India and Pakistan, without overtly siding with Islamabad. The discussions also emphasized unity over the Palestinian cause, with Khamenei praising Pakistan's stance against normalizing ties with Israel. While Pakistan aimed to garner backing against India, Iran's focus remained on broader Muslim solidarity, particularly concerning Gaza, signaling a cautious diplomatic approach to the subcontinent's escalating crisis.
