ISLAMABAD – After Israel’s strikes that targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories, and military commanders, the Pakistan International Airline (PIA) shared the latest update on the matter. The sounds of explosions were heard near the country’s main uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, as reported by the Iranian media. Israel declared a state of emergency in the face of retaliatory missile and drone attacks.
Iran’s chief of the elite Revolutionary Guards Corps, Hossein Salami, has been killed in the targeted strikes by Israel. The Headquarters of the unit in Tehran was hit. The strikes in civilian areas reported casualties, which included several children.
Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu said that it was a decisive moment in the history of Israel. Iran’s airspace was closed after the deadly strikes, which prompted the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) to change its service route to the Gulf countries.
Pakistan’s stance over Israel V/s Iran:
Pakistan strongly condemned the unjustified and illegitimate aggression by the State of Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The strikes carried out by Israel are in violation of the UN Charter and fundamental principles of International Law, as Iran reserves the right to self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as Israel violated Iran’s sovereignty and integrity.
The press release further stated Pakistan’s firm stand in solidarity with the people of the Islamic Republic of Iran and condemns these illegitimate and blatant acts of provocation, which threaten world peace and the stability and security of the entire region.
