Esmaeil Baqaei announced at a press conference on Monday that Pezeshkian will travel to Pakistan in the coming week.

Describing the upcoming presidential visit as a sign of the significance that Iran attaches to its relations with Pakistan, the spokesman said the bilateral ties are based upon historical, cultural and religious understanding and mutual respect.

He noted that the contacts between Tehran and Islamabad have increased following the Israeli and US aggression against Iran.

While the Zionist regime waged a war of aggression against Iran on June 13 and struck Iran’s military, nuclear and residential areas for 12 days, the US stepped in and conducted military attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran’s Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan on June 22.

The Iranian military forces conducted powerful counterattacks immediately after the aggression. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise III that inflicted heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories.

Also, in response to the US attacks, Iranian armed forces launched a wave of missiles at al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.

A ceasefire that came into force on June 24 brought the fighting to a halt./tasnim
