On Sunday, Pakistan issued a strong condemnation of the recent US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, which followed a series of Israeli strikes. In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) spokesperson conveyed, “We are gravely concerned at the possible further escalation of tensions in the region.”
Pakistan reiterated that these attacks constitute a violation of all norms of international law and affirmed Iran’s legitimate right to self-defense under the UN Charter. The unprecedented escalation of tension and violence, stemming from the ongoing aggression against Iran, is deemed deeply disturbing.
Pakistan warned that any further escalation of tensions would have severely damaging implications for the region and beyond. The Foreign Office emphasized the critical need to respect civilian lives and properties and to bring an immediate end to the conflict. “All parties must adhere to international law, particularly International Humanitarian Law,” the statement stressed.
Recourse to dialogue and diplomacy, in line with the principles and purposes of the UN Charter, remains the only viable pathway to resolve the crises in the region.
