According to a statement issued by the Foreign Office, the two leaders exchanged views on the evolving regional situation. Dar stressed the importance of de-escalation and called on all parties to adhere to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding agreed in June.
The conversation came as tensions between the United States and Iran continued to rise, with both sides exchanging missile and drone strikes. Tehran targeted US facilities across Gulf states on Sunday after announcing it had once again closed the Strait of Hormuz.
Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump declared that the ceasefire intended to halt the conflict that began on February 28 had come to an end, although he also signalled that negotiations could continue.
The latest escalation followed attacks on commercial shipping in the region. Iran said it closed the Strait of Hormuz after firing a warning shot that struck a vessel travelling on what it described as an unauthorised route. Iranian authorities later said they had disabled a second vessel.
Iran s Revolutionary Guards said the strait would remain closed until what they called "the end of US interference in this region." Before the conflict, around one-fifth of the world s oil supply passed through the Strait of Hormuz. The disruption has driven up global energy prices and added pressure on inflation.
During the call, Dar reaffirmed that dialogue and diplomacy remained the only sustainable means of resolving disputes and achieving lasting peace and stability in the region.
He also reiterated Pakistan s readiness to continue playing a constructive role in promoting regional peace and stability.
The Foreign Office said both leaders agreed to remain in close contact.
Meanwhile, Araghchi accused the United States of violating the ceasefire agreement, writing on X on Friday: "There can only be mutual compliance."
On Sunday, Iran s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf also posted on X: "The era of one-sided deals is OVER. We told you: keep your word or pay the price. Reality is knocking."
