Islamabad, Pakistan: Pakistan has not provided/allowed the use of its airspace, land, or water space against Iran in any of the attacks by the US or Israel.
According to the Foreign Office, Pakistan condemns the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, which follow a series of attacks by Israel. We are gravely concerned about the possible further escalation of tensions in the region.
“We reiterate that these attacks violate all norms of international law and that Iran has the legitimate right to defend itself under the UN Charter. The unprecedented escalation of tension and violence, owing to ongoing aggression against Iran, is deeply disturbing. Any further escalation of tensions will have severely damaging implications for the region and beyond. We emphasise the imperative need to respect civilian lives and properties and immediately bring the conflict to an end. All parties must adhere to international law, particularly International Humanitarian Law. Recourse to dialogue, diplomacy, in line with the principles and purposes of the UN Charter, remains the only viable pathway to resolve the crises in the region”, said the statement.
Official sources share that Pakistan has repeatedly and most clearly and boldly condemned Israeli attacks on Iran at different international fora and has shown full political, moral, and diplomatic support to Iran against Israeli aggression and Pakistan will not participate or become part of other’s war, any bloc politics and in other country’s military conflict.
Sources added Pakistan has a principled stance from day one; Iran has all rights of self-defence, and Pakistan will never make any compromise on safeguarding Pakistan’s own sovereignty and territorial integrity. Pakistan has and will continue to engage actively with all stakeholders and parties to come to an early cessation of hostilities and give peace a chance through sustainable and honourable mutually accepted terms rather than escalation and larger regional instability with grave attendant risks.
