Pakistan warns UNSC of grave threat to world peace posed by Israeli attack on Iran
Israel’s strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities constitute a “grave danger and a serious threat” to the peace, security, and stability of the entire region and beyond, Pakistan told the Security Council during an emergency session convened on Friday.
The 15-member Council cleared its original schedule to address the rapidly evolving crisis, also hearing from the head of the UN nuclear watchdog, who warned of the grave risks to regional stability and nuclear safety.
In his remarks, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, permanent representative of Pakistan to the UN, strongly condemned the “unjustified and illegitimate” aggression by Israel against Iran, reaffirming that Islamabad stood in resolute solidarity with the Iranian government and people.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi requested the Security Council meeting, saying Israel “has now crossed every red line, and the international community must not allow these crimes to go unpunished.
