Pakistan slams US strikes on Iran after backing Trump for peace prize

Pakistan has denounced the US bombardment of Iranian nuclear sites, calling the move a breach of international law—just a day after Islamabad said it would nominate US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

In a statement issued Sunday, Pakistan’s foreign ministry warned the attacks risk fuelling regional chaos.

“The unprecedented escalation of tension and violence, owing to ongoing aggression against Iran is deeply disturbing. Any further escalation of tensions will have severely damaging implications for the region and beyond,” it said.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also phoned Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to express Pakistan’s condemnation of the US strikes, according to a statement from Sharif’s office.

Islamabad reiterated its call for diplomacy, saying peaceful dialogue remains the only viable path forward in resolving the crisis
