Iran’s foreign minister is in Pakistan to try and mediate in the escalation between Islamabad and New Delhi after last month’s deadly attack on tourists in the Indian-controlled section of Kashmir.

The April 22 terrorist attack in Kashmir inflamed a long-simmering conflict that could boil over into military confrontation.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke to his Pakistani counterpart on Sunday and offered Russia's help in resolving tensions between Pakistan and India over Kashmir, the Foreign Ministry said.
