Iran Press/Iran news: Mohammad Javad Zarif in a telephone conversation with his Pakistani counterpart on Wednesday, expressed the Islamic Republic of Iran's readiness to help peaceful settlement of the differences between India and Pakistan, and invited the two sides to exercise restraint and engage in dialogue as soon as possible, Iran Press reported.
The Iranian foreign minister is also due to speak on phone with his Indian counterpart.
Tension between the two nuclear neighbours was raised after Indian jets intruded into Pakistan's airspace early on Tuesday morning.
The incursion over the heavily militarized Line of Control comes a day after Indian warplanes carried out an airstrike in Pakistan on what New Delhi said was a militant training camp, in retaliation for a suicide bombing in Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops on February 14.
Tensions have been running high between India and Pakistan since the February 14 bomb attack. New Delhi accuses Islamabad of being behind the assault, an allegation the Pakistani government denies.
Islamabad has rejected India's suggestion it was linked to the attack, which it called a matter of "grave concern." 101/211/202
