Pakistan in the 2026 Iran war

Summary

Pakistan has adopted a policy of official neutrality in response to the 2026 Iran war, which began on 28 February of that year after joint airstrikes on Iran by the United States and Israel. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan has officially condemned all attacks on Iran, and all attacks on the Gulf states. Pakistan has also played a central role in diplomacy by mediating a two-week ceasefire, which was later extended, and subsequently hosting the first round of the Islamabad Talks on 10 and 11 April, with the second round due towards the end of April.
