As the world reels from the horrific U.S. nuclear missile attack on Iran, Pakistan has not remained silent. From Islamabad to Gwadar, from mosques to universities, from the corridors of parliament to the voices of millions—Pakistan has risen in unflinching solidarity with Iran, condemning the strike as an act of state terrorism, religious desecration, and a threat to regional stability.

Bound by centuries of shared faith, language, bloodlines, and borders, Pakistan and Iran are more than neighbors—they are brothers in culture, creed, and resistance.

1. A Relationship Forged in History

Iran was the first country to recognize Pakistan after its independence in 1947. The two nations have since enjoyed strong diplomatic, cultural, and military ties:

• Bilateral trade agreements and energy pipelines

• Shared borders in Balochistan

• Deep connections in Shia-Sunni unity, poetry, and spirituality

• Coordination in regional forums like the ECO and OIC

Iran and Pakistan have also supported each other through sanctions, war, and global isolation.

2. Pakistan’s Government Speaks

The Government of Pakistan, led by the Foreign Office and Ministry of Defense, issued an official condemnation, declaring:

“The nuclear strike against Iran is a war crime under international law. Pakistan stands unequivocally with the Iranian people and demands global accountability.”

In an emergency session, Pakistan’s Parliament passed a unanimous resolution demanding:

• An international criminal investigation

• The convening of the UN General Assembly

• Medical and humanitarian assistance to Iran

3. Clergy and Religious Unity

From Lahore to Quetta, religious leaders across sects—Sunni and Shia—delivered fiery sermons:

• Grand Ayatollahs in Gilgit called it “a black day for the Muslim world.”

• Deobandi and Barelvi scholars united in calls for protest and du’a.

• Shia processions carried black flags with the inscription: “Labbaik Ya Iran.”

Mosques and Imambargahs alike echoed with prayers, weeping, and Quranic verses denouncing oppression.

4. Youth-Led Uprising of Support

Pakistani students organized nationwide protests:

• Karachi’s Numaish Chowrangi witnessed thousands chanting “Death to Injustice.”

• Punjab University students painted murals of Mahsa Amini and Iranian martyrs.

• Influencers launched #PakistanWithIran, trending across all platforms.

Spoken word nights, recitations of Persian poetry, and documentary screenings honored Iran’s victims and resistance.

5. Media and National Outrage

News channels such as ARY News, Geo, and PTV ran continuous coverage, exposing the brutality of the attack and rallying national sentiment.

Newspapers published hard-hitting editorials:

• “Today Tehran, Tomorrow Islamabad?”

• “When Nuclear Might Destroys Muslim Unity”

• “Why We Must Stand with Iran”

Pakistan’s press did not mince words.

6. A Call for Ummah-Wide Response

Pakistan’s leadership is now urging the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to:

• Suspend diplomatic relations with the U.S.

• Hold emergency sessions for Islamic solidarity

• Initiate global sanctions against any nuclear violator

Former Prime Ministers, generals, and diplomats echoed the need for a unified Islamic economic and defense strategy against nuclear aggression.

Conclusion

Pakistan’s bond with Iran is sacred—written in the ink of Iqbal and Hafez, sealed in prayers, trade, brotherhood, and mutual dignity.

As Iran bleeds, Pakistan roars.

Not for war—but for justice.
Not for vengeance—but for honor.
Not for power—but for peace.

The Crescent Moon of Pakistan rises beside the Lion of Iran—and neither shall bow.
