ISLAMABAD: Ambassador of Iran to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, on Sunday paid tribute to Ali Larijani on the 40th-day memorial anniversary (Chehelom) of his martyrdom, describing him as a distinguished statesman, philosopher and a symbol of rational and pragmatic politics.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the ambassador said the late Larijani, who served as Secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council, remained a prominent figure in the Islamic Republic of Iran and was widely recognized internationally, including in Pakistan, for his diplomatic acumen and intellectual depth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He noted that Larijani\u2019s personality transcended conventional political roles, portraying him as a rationalist thinker who embodied moderation, principled engagement and strategic foresight. \u201cHe was not only an executive and security official but also a philosopher whose pragmatic approach helped bridge diverse and at times conflicting perspectives,\u201d the envoy remarked.<\/p>\n
Terming his assassination a \u201ccowardly and heinous act,\u201d the ambassador said the killing represented an attack on rational and pragmatic political thought. He alleged that the act reflected a dangerous trend rooted in hostility towards Iran\u2019s principled diplomacy.<\/p>\n
The envoy further stated that the assassination underscored what he described as deep-seated animosity of international Zionism towards Iran\u2019s dignified and rational diplomatic posture.<\/p>\n
Reaffirming respect for the late leader, the ambassador said Larijani\u2019s legacy would continue to inspire principled political engagement and intellectual discourse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
