Iran Press/Iran news: Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Ghassemi said on Tuesday that the Islamic Republic of Iran calls on the two countries to do more to reduce tensions and resolve their disputes and problems peacefully through dialogue, Iran Press reported.
He added that the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a victim of terrorism, believes that the only way to fight terrorism and extremism is through a collective effort -- through cooperation between all countries of the world.
Ghasemi's comments came after India said it had conducted 'preemptive' airstrikes against a militant training camp inside Pakistan, shortly after the Pakistani military accused New Delhi of violating its territory in the Kashmir region.
India’s Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said Indian Air Force jets conducted airstrikes against a militant training base in Balakot, Kashmir, on Tuesday.
According to an Indian government source, some 300 militants were killed in the strikes. Pakistan, however, has denied that there were any casualties. 103
