ISLAMABAD, FEB 28: DNA/ – Pakistan has voiced serious concern over the collapse of diplomatic efforts in the Middle East following a recent escalation of hostilities, condemning attacks on both the Islamic Republic of Iran and several Gulf nations while urging maximum restraint from all parties involved.
In an official statement, Pakistan expressed regret over the failure of negotiations and the subsequent outbreak of violence. The Foreign Office specifically condemned what it described as “unwarranted attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” noting that the strikes occurred precisely when diplomatic initiatives were underway to reach a peaceful resolution.

The statement affirmed Pakistan’s solidarity with these nations while emphasizing the need for all sides to exercise maximum restraint.
