ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has strongly condemned Israel’s recent aggression against Iran on Thursday, urging the United Nations and the international community to act immediately to halt the military strikes and hold Israel accountable.
The Foreign Office spokesperson, Shafqat Ali Khan, called the Israeli strikes a violation of Iran’s sovereignty, stressing that they contravene international law and the UN Charter, particularly Article 51, which grants countries the right to self-defense.
In his weekly press briefing, Khan reaffirmed Pakistan’s firm support for Iran, denouncing the actions as a serious threat to regional peace, security, and stability. “These blatant provocations are not only a grave danger to the Middle East but also have far-reaching consequences for global security,” he said. He emphasized that Israel’s actions are a direct violation of international law and urged the international community to take action against the aggressor.
Khan also highlighted the solidarity of 19 Muslim-majority nations, including Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, who jointly condemned Israel’s recent attacks on Iran. These countries stressed the importance of respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states and emphasized peaceful dispute resolution in line with the UN Charter.
Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, held telephone conversations with several foreign ministers, including those from Iran, Turkey, Egypt, the UAE, and the UK, to discuss the rapidly deteriorating situation. The leaders expressed their deep concerns and reiterated their commitment to working together to prevent further escalation and maintain stability in the region.
Pakistan also expressed its commitment to global peace and security, underlining that Israel’s military actions against Iran must be immediately stopped. Leaders across the world are calling for urgent de-escalation and diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis peacefully.
In addition to the diplomatic focus on the Israel-Iran conflict, Shafqat Ali Khan informed that Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary, Ambassador Amna Baloch, inaugurated regional consultations on responsible AI in military domains in Islamabad on June 17, 2025.
The consultations focused on the rapid advancements in military AI and the need for legal and political frameworks to manage its implications for international security.
