In a phone call with the Pakistani prime minister earlier in March, Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi said Tehran is prepared to expand all-out relations with Islamabad.
Over two months ago, Iran-Pakistan relations soured following an escalation of cross-border tensions over counter-terrorism operations. Soon afterwards, however, the two neighbors took steps towards easing tensions.
