Former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari emphasized that Pakistan cannot afford for the conflict in Iran to escalate into another Iraq War or World War III as tensions rise between Iran and Israel.

Recent reports indicated new Israeli strikes in Iran following warnings from Tel Aviv that Tehran would face consequences for its missile attacks in response to Israeli assaults on its nuclear facilities, resulting in casualties including top army officers and civilians.

Bilawal expressed Pakistan's condemnation of the recent strikes on Iran and called for peace along all borders, including those with Afghanistan and India, emphasizing the need to prevent a potential escalation into a larger conflict.

He urged the international community to intervene and impose a ceasefire in the Iranian conflict with Israel to avoid perpetual war that serves no one's interests.

Additionally, a Pakistani delegation, including former foreign ministers and senators, has been engaging in a global campaign to present Pakistan's perspective on recent conflicts with India, visiting the US, London, and Brussels.

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif reiterated Pakistan's commitment to safeguarding Iran's interests amid missile exchanges between Iran and Israel, calling for unity among Muslim nations through the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
