The Pakistan government has scheduled an emergency meeting of its highest security council on Monday to handle the regional crisis sparked by the United States of America (USA) airstrike on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities namely Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz.
Pakistan Calls Emergency Security Meeting After US Strikes Iran
Islamabad calls emergency security meeting, a sharp reversal after recently nominating US President for Nobel peace prize.
The attack creates a difficult situation for Pakistan, which just days ago it had announced it was recommending US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Now, the country is officially condemning the very nation whose leader it nominated.
The National Security Committee, which includes Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Marshal Asim Munir, will lead the crisis talks.
Munir, having just returned from a visit to the US where he met President Trump, is expected to brief the committee on his discussion.
Following the US attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites, Sharif called Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to reaffirm Pakistan’s unwavering solidarity with the people and government of Iran and expressed condolences on the loss of lives.
