⚖️ Pakistan Condemns U.S. Strikes on Iran, a Day After Nominating Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

Date: June 22, 2025
By ABS News 4 You

In a striking reversal of tone, Pakistan’s government on Sunday condemned the United States for its air and submarine strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities—just one day after it formally recommended President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. This swift turn highlights the delicate balance Islamabad is trying to maintain between its diplomatic ties with Washington and its shared border and cultural links with Iran.

🏅 From Praise to Protest: Pakistan’s Swift Policy U-Turn

On Saturday, Pakistan’s cabinet announced it would formally nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his “decisive diplomatic intervention” in preventing an all-out nuclear war between India and Pakistan during the Pahalgam crisis last month. Yet, less than 24 hours later, the Foreign Ministry issued a sharp statement condemning the U.S. attack on Iran’s underground enrichment sites as a breach of international law (ndtv.com).

 A Shared Border and Shared Concerns

Pakistan shares a 900-kilometre frontier with Iran, and ties between the two neighbours run deep—religiously, ethnically, and economically. Islamabad’s statement underscored that any military escalation in Iran directly threatens Pakistan’s own security and the stability of the wider region. It warned that further violence “will have severely damaging implications for the region and beyond” (ndtv.com).

📜 Legal and Diplomatic Arguments

In its formal press release, Islamabad cited the United Nations Charter, reminding the world that Iran has the “legitimate right to defend itself” against aggression. The statement called the American strikes a violation of “all norms of international law,” and urged all parties to return to “dialogue and diplomacy” as the only viable path to peace (ndtv.com).

🔥 Background: U.S. Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites

Late on June 21, U.S. B-2 stealth bombers and submarine-launched missiles hit three of Iran’s main enrichment facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. President Trump later declared these strikes a “spectacular military success,” claiming Iran’s nuclear capabilities were “completely obliterated.” He warned of “much greater” future attacks if Tehran did not seek peace immediately (ndtv.com).

🤔 Why Pakistan Nominated Trump — and Why It Objected

Nobel Pitch:

  • Pakistan’s generals felt Trump’s quick diplomacy during the India-Pakistan border crisis in May had prevented a wider nuclear clash after the Pahalgam terror attack.

  • Field Marshal Asim Munir even visited the White House, urging Trump’s nomination for the peace prize.

Strong Objection:

  • By Sunday, Islamabad’s diplomatic calculus had shifted: while praising Trump’s India-Pakistan mediation, Pakistan could not ignore what it saw as U.S. aggression against another neighbour.

  • Pakistan’s concern is both moral—defending sovereign rights—and practical—fearing spillover violence and refugee flows across its eastern and western borders.

⚖️ Regional Fallout and the Call for De-Escalation

Pakistan’s statement urged all stakeholders—the U.S., Israel, and Iran—to de-escalate tensions. It stressed that without urgent dialogue, the Middle East risks a cycle of attack and retaliation that could engulf multiple countries in conflict. Islamabad specifically called for:

  • An immediate halt to further military actions.

  • A return to diplomatic talks under UN guidance.

  • Respect for each nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity (ndtv.com).

🗺️ What’s Next?

🔍 Focus Area 💡 Key Question
Iran’s Response Will Tehran retaliate against U.S. or Israel?
U.S.–Pakistan Ties Can Washington and Islamabad repair trust?
Global Diplomacy Will the UN Security Council call an emergency session?
Regional Stability How will Gulf states and Central Asia react?

📝 ABS News 4 You  Insight

Pakistan’s quick shift—from nominating a U.S. president for a peace award to condemning his military action—underscores the tightrope Islamabad walks in international politics. Balancing strategic ties with Washington against its neighbourhood realities demands nimble diplomacy. As tensions simmer, Pakistan’s call for dialogue is a reminder that in today’s interconnected world, one country’s strike can have ripple effects far beyond the battlefield.
