Pakistan has condemned the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, saying it is “gravely concerned at the possible further escalation of tensions in the region”.

“We reiterate that these attacks violate all norms of international law and that Iran has the legitimate right to defend itself under the UN Charter,” a statement by the Foreign Office said.

“The unprecedented escalation of tension and violence, owing to ongoing aggression against Iran is deeply disturbing. Any further escalation of tensions will have severely damaging implications for the region and beyond,” it warned.
