However, Pakistan has firmly denied any military role in the Iran-Israel war. While expressing diplomatic support for Iran’s sovereignty and right to self-defense, the Pakistani government clarified that it has not taken part in any military action. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during a call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, called for global efforts to de-escalate tensions.
There is no credible evidence of Pakistan’s military participating in the conflict. Pakistan’s defense policy emphasizes peaceful conflict resolution and regional stability. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s armed forces remain focused on national security, with no signs of involvement in Middle Eastern hostilities.
The conflict flared after Israel targeted Iran’s nuclear and military sites, killing senior officials and scientists. Iran retaliated with missile strikes on Israeli cities. Pakistan has condemned Israel’s aggression but remains committed to non-military engagement.
