Iran says India and Pakistan should exercise restraint and resolve tensions peacefully after New Delhi conducted airstrikes against what it called a militant training camp in Pakistani territory.

Tehran “calls on the two countries of India and Pakistan to [exercise] restraint and make more efforts to reduce tensions and peacefully settle the existing differences and problems through dialog,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Tuesday.

As a victim of terror, Iran believes that the only way to fight terrorism and extremism is bolstering all-out cooperation among all countries in the world without any discrimination, the Iranian spokesperson pointed out.

Tensions have seen a sharp hike between the two nuclear-armed states since February 14, when Pakistan-based militants carried out a deadly bomb attack against Indian paramilitary forces on the New Delhi-controlled side of Kashmir.

The tensions reached a peak on Tuesday, when India’s Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said his country had conducted “preemptive” airstrikes against what it described as a militant training camp in Balakot near Kashmir, shortly after the Pakistani military accused New Delhi of violating its territory in the Kashmir region.

According to an Indian government source, some 300 militants were killed in the strikes.

Islamabad, However, rejected New Delhi’s claim that it had killed many militants as “self serving, reckless and fictitious.”

Pakistani officials have said that Indian warplanes did breach the country’s airspace and drop a payload over Balakot in the country’s northwest, but said there was no damage or casualties.

The camp is believed to belong to a Pakistan-based militant group, the so-called Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), which claimed responsibility for the attack that killed 44 Indian forces in Pulwama, in Indian-administered Kashmir, on February 14.
