Pakistan has reaffirmed support for the resolution of the Iran nuclear issue through peaceful means, diplomatic engagement and sustained dialogue. At the Security Council Briefing, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN Asim Iftikhar Ahmad welcomed the announcement of the ceasefire understanding between Iran and Israel. 

He commended those who played pivotal role in facilitating this development and hoped this positive step will contribute to lasting peace and stability in the region. In a separate development, preliminary US intelligence assessment report said US airstrikes did not destroy Iran’s nuclear capability and only set it back by a few months, as a shaky ceasefire brokered by President Donald Trump took hold between Iran and Israel.
