Iran offers condolences, assistance to Pakistan following deadly floods
Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni has expressed sympathy for Pakistan, where hundreds of people have been killed in the flooding and landslides since June, voicing Tehran’s readiness to provide humanitarian assistance to the South Asian nation.
During a telephone conversation with his Pakistani counterpart Mohsin Naqvi, Momeni extended heartfelt condolences over the loss of lives, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan regions, caused by torrential rains and flash floods.
He also assured Pakistan of Iran’s willingness to provide all possible support in this time of need.
Describing Pakistan as a “brotherly neighbor,” the Iranian interior minister said Tehran stands in solidarity with the people of Pakistan and is prepared to help in every possible way.
“It is heartbreaking to witness the destruction and the separation of hundreds from their loved ones,” he said. “We are with the people of Pakistan, shoulder to shoulder.”
For his part, Naqvi thanked his Iranian counterpart for the gesture of solidarity and the offer of assistance.
He emphasized that Iran and Pakistan share their joys and sorrows alike.
Naqvi also noted that climate change is now posing unprecedented challenges in Pakistan, with the country experiencing severe weather conditions never seen before.
He added that all state institutions are actively working in the field to provide relief and support to flood-affected communities, and their rehabilitation remains the top priority.
