Islamabad: Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has said that he spoke with President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran on Saturday to express Pakistan's unwavering solidarity with the brotherly people of Iran in the face of Israel's unprovoked aggression.

In a statement issued on X, PM Shehbaz Sharif said that he strongly condemned the violation of Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity -an affront to international law and the UN Charter. Iran has every right to self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter.

PM Shehbaz Sharif said that he was grateful to President Pezeshkian for appreciation of Pakistan's unwavering and principled position at the United Nations Security Council calling out Israel's blatant aggression against Iran, Palestine and others in the region.

PM Shehbaz Sharif said that we agreed that the international community, particularly the Ummah, must act together to halt these grave violations.
