Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif made it clear during a phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday that the only way to calm things down after the U.S. attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites was through discussions and diplomacy.
Pakistan Speaks Out Against U.S. Attacks
President Donald Trump just said that the U.S. demolished Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, which Washington thinks were secret nuclear sites. Shehbaz said the strikes were “a serious violation of international law and IAEA safeguards.” He also argued that the UN Charter gives Iran the right to protect itself.
Please ask for less stress
The prime minister of Pakistan said that more military action could lead to a crisis in the whole region and highlighted how dangerous it would be. He advised world leaders to use diplomacy instead of violence and highlighted that everyone has a role to play in ending the terrible cycle.
Shehbaz also pointed out that Islamabad wants to support any initiative that seeks a peaceful outcome, which is a clear signal how critical it is for Muslim countries to work together. The prime minister informed president Pezeshkian that Pakistan is “ready to help mitigate tensions.”
Tehran is happy to get help.
The president of Iran praised Pakistan for moving fast, especially for its strong support in international forums. The two leaders made it plain how important it is for Muslims to fight together against both visible hate and less evident challenges.
The area is changing
When you call is really important. Shehbaz went to Tehran at the end of last month to discuss about how to work together in the area and bring about peace. Islamabad has always been careful about how difficulties in the area affect other places. This is how it felt about India during the May ceasefire.
The prime minister’s statements also show how Islamabad wants to have good relations with other countries by staying out of military actions that only one country performs and supporting efforts to keep the peace throughout the world.
Why This Is Important
Pakistan and Iran have a long border and have been linked by trade, culture, and security for thousands of years. Islamabad’s message is clear: war won’t bring peace. Countries all over the world are utilising more and more aggressive methods, such as surprise strikes and missile exchanges. Words can.
Pakistan is in a tough but principled spot when it comes to diplomacy and public communications. It has to uphold the law, promote conversation, and keep a close eye on influential allies and neighbours in the area.
The Last Word
Pakistan wants peace based on principle, as indicated by Prime Minister Shehbaz’s call for talks on a day when tensions are high. It’s not certain if the rest of the world will do the same, but one thing is evident: in a world that is becoming more reactive, diplomacy should be the loudest voice.
