Pakistan Deputy PM Dar calls for de-escalation in West Asia

Pakistan Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has expressed grave concern over the deteriorating security situation in West Asia, urging all involved parties to exercise immediate restraint. The call for de-escalation comes amid fears that the current friction could expand into a broader regional conflict.

The diplomatic appeal follows a significant increase in tensions within the region. Dar highlighted that dialogue remains the only viable path forward to ensure peace and protect the socioeconomic interests of neighboring nations.

Recent developments have intensified the friction, occurring shortly after political shifts in international relations involving major powers. Specifically, the escalation happened days after President Donald Trump said that the deal with Iran is over, according to reports.
