The involvement of the United States in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran has heightened tensions in the Middle East. Recently, the US executed rapid strikes on Iran's three main nuclear sites. In response, Pakistan has vehemently condemned these actions.
The Pakistani Foreign Ministry, through its official social media channels, declared that the US airstrikes constitute a violation of all norms of international law. Under the United Nations Charter, Iran retains the full right to self-defense.
The statement expressed profound concern over the precarious situation in the Middle East, which bears severely alarming consequences, potentially impacting regions beyond. These actions are a breach of international laws, reinforcing Iran's right to defense.
Notably, Pakistan shares a 900-kilometer border with Iran, further emphasizing its vested interest in regional stability. Pakistan has called for a swift end to hostilities between Israel and Iran. They emphasized diplomacy over military conflict as the sole path to peace.
Pakistan's Advocacy for Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize Nomination
Just a day prior, Pakistan had officially endorsed US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The Pakistani government formally proposed his candidacy for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
According to the government, Trump's diplomatic intervention and decisive leadership in resolving the conflict with India in 2025 led to this nomination.
The neighboring nation asserted that Trump's efforts were crucial in achieving a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, thereby averting a significant threat of war, making him a deserving candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.
It should be noted that following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyad Un Marsoos, escalating tensions. However, Trump's intervention helped ease tensions within the region.
