Shafaqna English– Pakistan’s Defence Minister said that his country is ready to provide diplomatic support, but Iran has not yet submitted a request for military assistance.
In an interview with Al-Jazeera, Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif emphasized that Israeli attacks have gone beyond Palestine and have now also targeted Yemen and Iran. He called these attacks “war crimes” and called for their immediate cessation.
Referring to America’s unwavering support for Israel, he described the country as “a supporter of a rogue regime” and said that Washington should stop this support and play a more effective role in stopping the aggression. Asif also stated: “We must help Iran through diplomacy. Iran has not asked us for military assistance, but if the situation escalates, we will react.”
The Pakistani Defence Minister continued by emphasizing the need for the Islamic world to confront the threats of Israel, and called on Arab countries to stop supporting Israel and listen to the will of their peoples.
He also said: “Israel has nuclear weapons but has not joined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel has no right to target Iran’s nuclear facilities, which are under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Iran’s right to have a peaceful nuclear program is reserved.”
