Pakistan Expresses Concern Over Escalating Iran-US Tensions, Calls for Dialogue

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Pakistan‘s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a release that it is concerned about the heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, but will continue to engage in dialogue. The ministry expressed optimism that both sides will return to the negotiation table.

A direct confrontation between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States entered one of its most serious phases in recent weeks on Tuesday evening, September 1, 2026. US airstrikes on targets in southern Iran, from Hormozgan to Sistan and Baluchestan, were met with a swift response from Iran’s armed forces. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the commencement of a “regrettable response” and missile and drone attacks on American targets in the region. Simultaneously, the skies over Jordan, Bahrain, and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq witnessed a wave of security alerts, missile interceptions, and reports of attacks on American positions, a development that once again turned the Strait of Hormuz into the epicenter of global security and energy crises.
