Iranian and Pakistani leaders issue joint call to UN Security
Council to intervene in Gaza crisis.
The
presidents of Iran and Pakistan have condemned the ongoing conflict in Gaza,
urging the United Nations Security Council to act decisively and warning against
what they described as continued Israeli aggression and global indifference.
Speaking
during his first official visit to Islamabad on Sunday, Iranian
President, Masoud Pezeshkian said the crisis underscored the need for a
regional and international consensus against what he called the unlawful
actions of the “Zionist regime.”
“These
aggressions once again revealed the necessity of coming up with a regional and
global consensus against the unlawful actions of the Zionist regime,” President
Pezeshkian said in a joint press address with Pakistani Prime Minister,
Shehbaz Sharif. “The two countries of Iran and Pakistan ask international
bodies, especially the Security Council of the United Nations, to avoid double
standards and take up a more active role in preventing the aggressions against
the soil and territories of member countries, as well as the spillover of the
war, the encroachment on sovereignty, and the killing of civilians.”
The
statement marked a united front by the two Muslim-majority nations in their
criticism of the war in Gaza, amid rising death tolls and reports of starvation
in the besieged Palestinian enclave.
Beyond the
Gaza issue, the bilateral meeting also focused on strengthening cooperation in
trade, energy, and border security. Both governments expressed optimism about
revitalizing economic ties and addressing shared concerns across the Middle
East and South Asia.
Officials
from both countries hailed the visit as a turning point in diplomatic
relations, with renewed attention on regional stability and joint opposition to
foreign intervention and war escalation.
