Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar expressed serious concern during a phone call from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. According to Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the two leaders “reviewed the evolving situation in Iran and the wider region”.
The statement said Dar “strongly condemned the unwarranted attacks against Iran” and stressed the need to stop further escalation. He called for “urgent resumption of diplomacy to achieve a peaceful, negotiated resolution to the crisis”.
The crisis deepened after the United States and Israel carried out strikes on Iran, leading to renewed military confrontation. Soon after, several Gulf Arab states reported missile attacks from Tehran, as Iran vowed retaliation.

In a separate move, the Foreign Office issued a travel advisory for Pakistani nationals. The advisory clearly states, “For their safety and security, Pakistani nationals are advised to avoid all non-mandatory travel to the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
It further warned, “Pakistani nationals currently residing in Iran must exercise caution, remain vigilant, minimize non-essential travel, and stay in regular contact with the Pakistani Missions.”
The situation has created fear and uncertainty across the region. Diplomatic channels now appear under pressure, while military actions are increasing.
Pakistan is trying to balance its position carefully. It is condemning violence but also calling for dialogue. The region looks tense. If diplomacy fails again, the conflict could spread wider. Calm talks may be the only way to stop a bigger crisis.
