Pakistan has strongly condemned the reported missile and drone attacks carried out by Iran targeting energy facilities in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia, describing the incident as a serious escalation in an already tense region.
Strong Diplomatic Response
In an official statement, the Foreign Office expressed deep concern over the attacks and extended condolences to the families of those affected.
“The Government of Pakistan conveys its sincere condolences to the families of the victims and firmly stands in solidarity with the Government and people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during this difficult time,” the statement read.
Violation of Sovereignty
Pakistan emphasized that such actions constitute a clear violation of Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Officials noted that attacks on critical infrastructure not only endanger lives but also risk destabilizing key economic sectors, particularly energy.
The Foreign Office described the incident as a “dangerous escalation” that could further inflame tensions across the Middle East.

Regional Stability at Risk
The statement highlighted broader concerns about the potential impact on regional peace and security. With ongoing conflicts and heightened geopolitical tensions, Pakistan warned that such incidents could trigger wider instability if not addressed through diplomatic means.
Call for Restraint
While condemning the attacks, Pakistan implicitly called for restraint and de-escalation, urging all parties to avoid actions that could worsen the situation. Maintaining stability in the region, the statement suggested, remains critical not only for regional countries but also for global economic security, particularly energy markets.
Pakistan’s response underscores its continued support for Saudi Arabia and its concern over rising tensions in the Middle East. As the situation evolves, diplomatic engagement and restraint are likely to remain key priorities to prevent further escalation.
