Pakistan has strongly reaffirmed Iran’s right to self-defence under the UN Charter, condemning Israeli military strikes as unlawful and provocative. The Foreign Office said Israel’s actions threaten regional peace and violate international norms.
Violation of Sovereignty
During his weekly media briefing in Islamabad on Thursday, Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan condemned Israel’s aggression as a blatant breach of Iran’s sovereignty. He stressed that the strikes go against the UN Charter and fundamental international legal principles.
“Iran has every right to self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter,” Khan stated. He reiterated Pakistan’s support for Iran and warned that such provocations endanger not just the region but global stability.

Call for International Action
Khan urged the international community and the United Nations to take urgent action. “There is a collective responsibility to uphold international law and hold the aggressor accountable,” he said. Pakistan called on global powers to step in and halt the escalation before it causes irreversible damage.
Solidarity With Iran
Pakistan expressed firm solidarity with the Iranian people. “These blatant provocations pose a serious threat to peace and must be condemned unconditionally,” Khan emphasized.
Concerns Over Kashmir
Switching focus to Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the spokesperson criticized the Indian government for denying religious freedoms during Eid-al-Adha. He revealed that Kashmiri Muslims were barred from offering prayers at Srinagar’s Jamia Masjid and Eidgah. Additionally, senior Kashmiri leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was placed under house arrest.
“These oppressive tactics highlight the Indian authorities’ continued disregard for human rights,” Khan said. He called the curbs a violation of Kashmiris’ right to religious freedom and peaceful assembly.
Demand for Accountability
Pakistan urged India to stop these repressive measures and respect the basic freedoms of the Kashmiri people. Khan demanded that India allow them their inalienable right to self-determination, guaranteed under numerous international commitments.
