Rawalpindi: Pakistan’s top military leadership has strongly condemned recent attacks on Saudi Arabia’s petrochemical and industrial facilities, calling them an “unnecessary escalation” that threatens peace efforts in the region.

According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Corps Commanders’ Conference expressed serious concern over strikes attributed to Iran, warning that such actions could destabilize the already tense Middle East situation. The commanders noted that Saudi Arabia has shown restraint despite provocations, helping create space for diplomacy, and cautioned that continued aggression could derail ongoing peace initiatives.

The forum reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to dialogue, de-escalation, and principled diplomacy, emphasizing the country’s role in promoting regional stability. The meeting was chaired by Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, who also reviewed internal security and counter-terrorism operations.

The commanders reaffirmed their resolve to eliminate militant groups and warned that all terrorist elements and their facilitators, including those allegedly backed by hostile external actors, would be targeted without discrimination.

They also expressed concern over human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and rejected what they termed misleading narratives from India, reaffirming Pakistan’s commitment to safeguarding its sovereignty and security.
