Islamabad (TDI): The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) of Pakistan has strongly condemned the “unjustified and illegitimate military aggression” by Israel against Iran.
These strikes are a flagrant violation of Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and represent a grave breach of the United Nations Charter and the fundamental principles of international law, as per MoFA’s Press Release issued this morning.
The press statement said that the Israeli attacks not only disregard established norms of interstate conduct but also pose a serious threat to peace and security in an already volatile region. Pakistan firmly asserts that the Islamic Republic of Iran, like any sovereign state, possesses the inherent right to self-defense as enshrined in Article 51 of the UN Charter.
“The use of force by Israel without any legal or moral justification constitutes a blatant provocation and escalation, undermining regional stability and threatening wider international peace,” it also read.

MoFA reaffirmed that Pakistan stands in resolute solidarity with the people and government of Iran at this time: “We extend our full support to Iran’s right to safeguard its territorial integrity and defend its people against acts of aggression.”
It also noted that the latest developments are not isolated; they reflect a pattern of unlawful actions that have the potential to ignite broader conflict, risking further loss of innocent lives and endangering the security architecture of the Middle East and beyond.
“Islamabad urges the international community, particularly the United Nations and key stakeholders, to fulfill their responsibility in upholding the global order,” the Foreign Office added.
“Immediate action is required to halt the continuing aggression, prevent further escalation, and hold the aggressor accountable. The failure to respond effectively would not only erode the credibility of the international legal framework but also encourage further unilateralism and impunity in global affairs”, the FO said.
