Pakistan Stands With Iran Against US-Israel Attacks

June 22, 2025

🇵🇰 Key Points from PM Shehbaz’s Call with Iran’s President:

1. Strong Condemnation:
   • Called U.S./Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites “blatant violations of international law.”
   • Warned targeting IAEA-protected facilities (like Fordow) endangers global safety.
2. Solidarity with Iran:
   • Expressed grief for lives lost; prayed for injured.
   • Reaffirmed: “Pakistan stands firmly with Iran’s people and leadership.”
3. Call for Peace:
   • Urged immediate de-escalation through talks, not force.
   • Asked world leaders to intervene: “Only diplomacy can resolve this crisis.”

🇮🇷 Iran’s Response:

President Pezeshkian thanked Pakistan for its “timely support” and praised unified backing from Pakistan’s government, military, and public.

🌍 Why This Matters:

• Strikes targeted 3 nuclear sites, escalating Middle East tensions.
• Pakistan positions itself as a voice for negotiation amid rising conflict.

“Attacking protected nuclear sites is reckless—a direct assault on global norms.”
– PM Shehbaz Sharif
