Modi and Pezeshkian meet to discuss India-Iran trade and regional stability
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met in Kyrgyzstan on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit. This marks their first meeting since conflict began six months ago.
During the meeting, President Pezeshkian requested India's assistance in using its diplomatic connections to promote dialogue and de-escalation. Prime Minister Modi expressed a commitment to strengthening long-standing ties and expanding bilateral trade between the two nations.
These discussions occur amid heightened pressure from the United States. The U.S. government is intensifying economic measures against Iran under ‘Operation Economic Outcast’. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned that the United States may impose secondary sanctions on any country that assists Iran in evading sanctions or provides resources for its nuclear program and terrorism.
