Pakistan, Iran Call Muslim Unity Against Israel After Regional Strikes

Following Israel's airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites, which killed numerous top commanders and scientists, Pakistan has strongly condemned the attacks and expressed full solidarity with Iran. Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called on Muslim nations to unite against Israel, urging the severance of diplomatic ties with Tel Aviv and the convening of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to formulate a collective response. Asif highlighted that Israel's aggression is not limited to Iran but extends to Yemen and Palestine, warning that continued disunity will leave all Muslim countries vulnerable to future attacks. Iran has retaliated with ballistic missile strikes on Israeli cities, escalating regional tensions. Pakistan's support for Iran is echoed by Iranian officials who denounce Israel's violations of international law and call on the Muslim world and international community to stand against Israeli aggression to maintain regional stability. There are concerns that Pakistan's alignment with Iran, including potential military support, could significantly alter the conflict dynamics and escalate into a broader war.
