Pakistan urged all parties to respect a fragile cease-fire between the United States and Iran, while Tehran signaled it is preparing deterrent strikes against Israel over alleged violations in Lebanon, raising concerns of renewed escalation.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said violations of the cease-fire had been reported in several areas across the conflict zone and called on all sides to exercise restraint.
Sharif urged parties to uphold the agreed two-week truce to allow diplomacy to move toward a peaceful resolution.
"Violations of ceasefire have been reported at (a) few places across the conflict zone which undermine the spirit of peace process," Sharif said on X.
"I earnestly and sincerely urge all parties to exercise restraint and respect the ceasefire for two weeks, as agreed upon, so that diplomacy can take a lead role towards peaceful settlement of the conflict."
