Prime Minister (PM) Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif held a telephone conversation with Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and expressed Pakistan’s solidarity with the people and the government of the brotherly country against Israel’s unprovoked and unjustified aggression.
According to a press statement issued here, the prime minster strongly condemned Israeli attacks against Iran that violated its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and were in complete defiance of the UN Charter and international law.
“Iran had the right to self-defence, as provided under Article 51 of the UN Charter,” PM Shehbaz added in conversation with the president of Iran.
While expressing heartfelt condolences to President Pezeshkian over the loss of precious lives in the attacks, the prime minister recalled Pakistan’s support to Iran at the UN Security Council’s emergency meeting, held on Friday.
The prime minster denounced Israel’s blatant provocations and adventurism as a grave threat to regional and global peace and stability. He also strongly condemned Israel’s unabated genocidal campaign against the valiant Palestinians, carried out with complete impunity.
