“The sharp rise in tensions and violence as a result of the Israeli aggression and unlawful actions is profoundly disturbing, any further escalation risk catastrophic consequences for the region and beyond” he said.

“Pakistan stands in solidarity with the government and brotherly people of Iran during this challenging time”, Ahmad said.

These comments come just a day after Pakistan said it would recommend United States President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
