Islamabad, June 22, 2025 — The Government of Pakistan has issued a sharp condemnation of the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear installations, calling the action “an unacceptable breach of international law” and a threat to regional peace.
In an official statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Islamabad expressed “deep concern over the escalation of hostilities” in the Middle East and emphasized the need for diplomatic solutions rather than military interventions.
“Pakistan stands firmly against unilateral use of force, especially when it endangers the fragile stability of the region,” the statement read.
The condemnation follows widespread global reaction after U.S. fighter jets reportedly targeted multiple Iranian nuclear sites over suspicions of Tehran’s accelerated nuclear activities. While Washington has defended its actions as “preemptive security measures,” many nations—including U.S. allies—have expressed discomfort over the possible consequences.
Pakistan’s foreign office reiterated the importance of upholding the United Nations Charter and respecting the sovereignty of all nations. It also called on both the U.S. and Iran to exercise maximum restraint and return to dialogue through diplomatic channels.
“Pakistan urges all parties to de-escalate tensions and prioritize regional peace through constructive engagement,” the statement added.
Security analysts in Islamabad have warned that further escalation between the United States and Iran could ignite a broader regional conflict, with devastating humanitarian and economic consequences for neighboring countries, including Pakistan.
While Pakistan has historically tried to maintain balanced ties with both Washington and Tehran, this latest statement suggests a clear position favoring restraint and multilateralism over military aggression.
The government also hinted at coordinating with other regional powers, including China, Turkey, and Gulf nations, to mediate and reduce tensions in the aftermath of the strike.
As of now, no direct military fallout has impacted Pakistan, but authorities remain on high alert amid fears of a potential spillover.
