Following the joint strikes by Israel and the United States on Iran, several countries have voiced strong reactions. Pakistan, Norway, and Belgium each issued statements expressing deep concern and criticism of the attacks, calling for restraint and renewed diplomatic engagement to prevent further escalation.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar condemned what he described as an “unjustified attack” on Iran and urged an immediate halt to hostilities. He emphasized the need for urgent diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis through peaceful dialogue. Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth said that although Israel claimed the strike was preventive, it did not align with international law, noting that preventive action requires an imminent threat. Belgium’s Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot expressed sorrow that earlier diplomatic efforts had failed and stressed that the Iranian people should not suffer for their government’s decisions.

All three nations highlighted the growing risk of military escalation and reiterated the importance of dialogue and diplomacy to restore stability in the region.
