Karachi: Syed Aman Shah, Provincial Convener of the Awaam Pakistan Party in Balochistan, has expressed significant concern over escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, labeling the conflict a substantial threat to global peace. He emphasized that Pakistan, given its strategic location, should navigate the situation with caution and prioritize its national interests.

Shah highlighted that the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Iran could extend beyond the two nations, potentially impacting the entire region and the world. He advocated for Pakistan to adopt a foreign policy rooted in neutrality and peace, steering clear of external influences.

He warned against the dangers of allowing foreign or regional powers to dictate Pakistan’s foreign policy, citing past alliances that have proven costly.
