ISLAMABAD, JUN 22 /DNA/ – Prominent Pakistani politician and Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed has strongly condemned recent American attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, labeling them as “willful aggression and a war crime.” In a fiery post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Sayed compared the strikes to the 2003 Iraq War, accusing the U.S. of acting on false pretenses.
Sayed alleged that the “Israeli Lobby” influenced the decision, criticizing former U.S. President Donald Trump for engaging in “deception” and betraying his pledge to avoid new military conflicts. He suggested that the attacks were politically motivated rather than based on legitimate security concerns.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with Washington justifying the strikes as preemptive measures against nuclear proliferation. However, critics like Sayed argue that such actions risk escalating regional instability and violate international law.
Iran has yet to issue an official response to the alleged attacks, but hardliners within the country are expected to demand retaliation. Meanwhile, global leaders are calling for restraint, fearing another Middle East crisis.
Sayed, a vocal advocate for Muslim world solidarity, has long criticized U.S. foreign policy, particularly its alignment with Israel. His latest statement is likely to resonate with anti-Western factions in Pakistan and beyond.=DNA
