Iran has expressed gratitude to Pakistan for its solidarity and support in the face of ongoing aggression by the United States and Israel. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi took to social media to thank the government and people of Pakistan for their strong expression of solidarity with Iran. He stated that Iran remains committed to defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity, relying fully on Allah Almighty. The conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran erupted on February 28, 2026, when US and Israeli forces launched coordinated strikes on Iranian military sites, citing threats to regional security. The attacks quickly escalated into a broader confrontation, with Iran retaliating through drone and missile strikes targeting US assets and allied interests across the Gulf. Pakistan has maintained a cautious but supportive stance amid the US-Israel-Iran conflict, calling for restraint and dialogue while avoiding direct military involvement. Islamabad has expressed solidarity with Iran, with officials and public figures highlighting the historical, cultural, and economic ties between the two countries. Pakistan’s role has primarily been diplomatic, offering moral and political backing to Tehran while urging regional powers to de-escalate tensions and prevent further disruption to energy supplies and trade through the Gulf. Adviser to the Prime Minister Rana Sanaullah said Pakistan’s leadership is in close contact with Muslim countries regarding the evolving regional situation. He mentioned that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif recently held talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and also visited Saudi Arabia as part of diplomatic engagements. Rana Sanaullah emphasized that Pakistan maintains a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia and remains committed to it, and expressed hope that discussions between the Saudi leadership and the Iranian president would contribute to improving regional stability.
