Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Tuesday warned that the rising tensions between Iran and the United States pose a serious threat for the regional and global peace.
Addressing Political and Security Committee of the European Union in Brussels on Tuesday, he expressed Pakistan’s serious concerns over US-Iran tensions, adding that the situation is becoming a matter of serious concern for regional and global peace and security.
“Sending US combat warship carrying fighter jets to Persian Gulf pose serious threat to peace,” Qureshi said and added any instability in Iran is potentially detrimental to Pakistan’s security given the multiple challenges it can pose, including influx of refugees and presence of extra regional forces in our neighborhood. The conflict will be highly detrimental to the Afghan peace process as well.
He said: “Pakistan believes that JCPOA is a significant achievement and must be preserved, especially when IAEA had repeatedly verified that Iran was strictly adhering to the terms of agreement. We recognize and welcome the EU’s efforts aimed at preservation of the agreement and ensuring the implementation of agreed commitments.”
The foreign minister expressed Pakistan s desire to resolve all outstanding conflicts within established diplomatic norms.
