Pakistan has sharply criticized the United States for launching airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, calling the action unjustified and expressing serious concern over the escalation in West Asia. In an official statement released on X (formerly Twitter), the Pakistani Foreign Ministry denounced the American assault, stating that such aggression undermines regional stability and is inconsistent with efforts to maintain peace.
The condemnation came just hours after Pakistan announced that it had officially nominated former US President Donald Trump for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. Islamabad cited Trump’s role in defusing tensions between India and Pakistan and facilitating the 2021 ceasefire agreement as reasons for the nomination. The government noted that Trump’s intervention helped prevent conflict between two nuclear-armed nations. The announcement follows a recent meeting at the White House, where Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir reportedly urged Trump’s nomination. Pakistan’s rebuke of the US strikes on Iran, in the midst of growing tensions involving Israel and Iran, highlights the delicate diplomatic stance Islamabad seeks to maintain.
