In a powerful session of the Iranian Parliament, President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian extended heartfelt thanks to Pakistan for its unwavering stance amid rising tensions in the region. Highlighting the strength of Pakistan and Iran relations, he stated that Pakistan’s Parliament and its people have consistently stood beside Iran, especially during difficult times.
His speech was met with enthusiastic chants of “Thank You, Pakistan!” from Iranian lawmakers, reflecting the depth of Iran-Pakistan friendship and the nations’ shared vision for regional stability in the Middle East.
During the session, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf condemned recent acts of Israeli aggression, calling on the Iranian nation to remain united. He honored the martyrs, including nuclear scientists, military commanders, and civilians, who lost their lives in the unprovoked attacks.
This expression of solidarity follows Pakistan’s recent statement at the United Nations, where its envoy, Asim Iftikhar, condemned Israel’s repeated violations of international law. He emphasized that Israel’s continuous military provocations pose a serious threat to regional peace and security. The envoy reiterated Iran’s legitimate right to mutual defense under the UN Charter and stressed the need for a peaceful resolution to the Iran nuclear issue.
The statement also reflected Pakistan’s broader commitment to diplomatic support for oppressed nations and unity within the Muslim world.
Since June 13, Israel has launched extensive attacks on Iran, targeting military sites, nuclear facilities, and civilian areas. Hundreds of Iranians, including top military officials and innocent civilians, have been martyred. In response, Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes on Israeli positions, reportedly killing at least 24 people.
This strong mutual support illustrates a growing strategic alliance between the two nations — one built not just on geography, but on shared values, struggles, and visions for a peaceful and just region.
The message from Tehran is clear: Pakistan and Iran stand shoulder to shoulder, united against aggression and committed to peace and stability in the region.
