Following a high-profile meeting between Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir and US President Donald Trump, Pakistan has firmly maintained its longstanding support for Iran in the ongoing conflict with Israel. A well-placed source confirmed that Pakistan’s position remains “100% the same,” rejecting speculation that the meeting signaled any shift in policy. The Foreign Office strongly condemned Israel’s attacks on Iran as “unjustified and illegitimate aggression,” calling on the international community and the United Nations to intervene and hold Israel accountable for violating international law.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has also voiced deep concern over the escalating conflict, describing the situation as a threat to both regional and global peace. He reiterated Pakistan’s solidarity with Iran and urged for an immediate ceasefire, highlighting the heavy civilian casualties and widespread destruction caused by Israeli airstrikes. The government is actively engaging in diplomatic efforts while expressing optimism for a lasting resolution to the crisis.
On the security front, Pakistan continues its routine cooperation with Iran along their shared border to combat militancy but denies any new military coordination linked to the Israel-Iran hostilities. Defense Minister Khawaja Asif emphasized that while Pakistan remains vigilant, it has not engaged in fresh operational ties with Tehran since the conflict escalated. Meanwhile, Pakistan has taken precautionary measures by sealing key border crossings and repatriating citizens amid fears of instability spilling over from Iran’s volatile Balochistan region.
The steadfast stance by Pakistan reflects its complex geopolitical balancing act—supporting Iran as a neighbor and brotherly nation while managing relations with the United States and other global powers. Despite pressures and conspiracy theories circulating in some political circles, Islamabad’s official position remains clear: Pakistan condemns Israeli aggression, stands in solidarity with Iran, and calls for peace and stability in the region.
