Earlier, Pakistan informed the UN Security Council in an emergency meeting on Friday that Israel’s strike on Iranian military and nuclear sites poses a “serious threat and a grave danger” to the peace, security, and stability of the region and beyond.
The 15-member Council adjusted its original schedule to respond to the fast-changing crisis, listening to the head of the UN nuclear watchdog, who cautioned of the serious threats to regional stability and nuclear security.
In his address, Pakistan’s permanent representative to the UN, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, unequivocally denounced Israel’s “illegitimate and unjustified” attack on Iran.
He reiterated that Pakistan was in unwavering solidarity with the Iranian people and condemned the government.
