Islamabad, Pakistan – In January 2024, Pakistan and Iran engaged in a brief military escalation, but after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities and assassinated officials, Pakistan condemned Israel’s actions as violations of sovereignty, calling for international accountability. Amid growing conflict, Pakistan closed five border crossings with Iran, facilitating the return of over 500 nationals, while emphasizing its willingness to mediate peace efforts, despite concerns about deepening involvement in a complex geopolitical situation.
