Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Friday strongly condemned the Israeli attacks on Iran, calling it a brazen violation of Iran’s sovereignty. The foreign minister shared a statement on social media platform, X, stating that the abhorrent action has shaken foundations of international law as well as conscience of humanity. The Israeli attack has gravely undermined regional stability and international security, he said, adding: “Pakistan stands in solidarity with the Government & the people of Iran”. 

Pakistan strongly condemned unjustified and illegitimate aggression by Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran.  The Israeli military strikes violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran and clearly contravene the UN Charter and fundamental principles of international law. Iran has the right to self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter. 

"Pakistan stands in resolute solidarity with the people of Iran and unequivocally denounces these blatant provocations, which constitute a grave danger and a serious threat to the peace, security, and stability of the entire region and beyond, with serious implications," the Foreign Office said in a statement. The international community and the United Nations bear responsibility to uphold international law, stop this aggression immediately and hold the aggressor accountable for its actions.
