ISLAMABAD-: Former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday condemned the US attack on Iran’s nuclear installations which was based on false claims of Israel that Tehran was close to developing nulcear weapons.
Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly here, he said that Israel assaulted the sovereignty of Iran which is a violation of international law. “Iran’s sovereignty should not be challenged under any circumstances,” he added.
“We condemn the US attack on Iran. The attack was based on baseless accusations which have been made against Iran for years.”
Israel continuously accused Iran of making nuclear weapons whereas Tehran clarified that its programme was peaceful.
Bilawal, who is also chairman of People’s Party (PPP), said Israel did not dare attack Iran’s military leadership in the battlefield.
He continued, “Iranian leadership and journalists were targeted. The attack on Iran’s nuclear installations was extremely costly. This act endangered the lives of people across the region. Such attacks are a violation of international law. Even the United Nations Security Council condemned the US attack on Iran.”
Bilawal said “Israel is dragging America into a war. The American people do not support it. After Gaza, Iraq, and Lebanon, now they are targeting Iran. If we do not speak out now, no one will speak out when they come for us. The Iran-Israel conflict must be resolved with wisdom and patience.”
