Israel’s attacks on Iranian nuclear and military facilities have been described as a “serious danger and a serious threat” for the peace, security and stability of the entire region and beyond, Pakistan told the UN Security Council during an emergency session called on Friday.
The Council of 15 members adjusted its original schedule to address the crisis in rapid evolution, audiing the UN Nuclear Control Head, who warned about serious risks for both regional stability and nuclear safety.
In his comments, the ambassador to Iftikhar Ahmad, Pakistan’s permanent representative before the UN, strongly condemned the “unjustified and illegitimate” aggression of Israel against Iran. He reaffirmed that Pakistan remained in solidarity resolved with the Iranian government and people.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had requested the Security Council meeting, stating that Israel had “crossed all red lines”, urging the international community to ensure that these crimes were not left without penetrating.
Among those who supported the request of the meeting were Pakistan, China and Russia.
Given the growing tensions, Ambassador Ahmad urged the Security Council to defend his responsibility to enforce international law and immediately stop the aggression. He firmly requested the resolution of the crisis through dialogue and diplomacy.
During the meeting, Rosemary Dicar it, the Undersecretary General of UN Political Affairs, informed the Council about the repercussions of the attacks, which already felt throughout the region.
“I reaffirm the conviction of the secretary general of any military escalation in the Middle East,” he said, urging both Israel and Iran to exercise maximum restriction and avoid: “At all costs, a decrease in a deeper and wider regional conflict.”
He also stressed that the military escalation had occurred as well as “some significant diplomatic developments” were developing, including planned resumption of American-Iranian conversations in Oman, who will now have indicated that he will no longer attend.
Dicuring it urged all parties to stay committed to diplomacy, stating: “A peaceful resolution through negotiations remains the best means to guarantee the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program.”
She added: “We must avoid, at all costs, a growing conflagration that could have huge global consequences.”
Rafael Grossi, general director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (OIEA), also informed the Council, saying that his agency was in constant contact with Iran’s nuclear regulatory authority to evaluate the status of the affected facilities and determine the broader impacts on nuclear safety and safety.
He stressed that nuclear sites should never be attacked under any circumstances. “Such attacks have serious implications for nuclear safety, safety and safeguards, as well as regional and international peace and security,” said Grossi.
He added that he was ready to travel to the region as soon as possible to evaluate the situation and support security, security and non -proliferation efforts in Iran.
“It is clear that the only sustainable path forward for Iran, Israel, the entire region and the international community are based on dialogue and diplomacy to guarantee peace, stability and cooperation,” said Grossi.
He also offered the OIEA as a neutral platform, where “the facts prevail over rhetoric” and where technical commitment can replace climbing. “I reaffirm my personal commitment and the preparation of the agency to facilitate dialogue and support efforts that promote transparency, security and peaceful resolution of nuclear problems in Iran.”
