Pakistan condemns Iran's attacks on Saudi oil facilities — breaks mediation role, aligns with Gulf states

2026-04-07 · 14:29 UTC·Islamabad, Pakistan

Pakistan's army command and foreign ministry publicly condemned Iran's attacks on Saudi Arabia's petrochemical and oil facilities, signaling a decisive break in Pakistan's previously neutral mediating role. The Pakistani military's ISPR statement called the attacks an 'unnecessary escalation' and questioned why Iran was attacking Saudi Arabia. The condemnation came as Pakistan's 45-day ceasefire proposal had already been rejected by Iran, and as Pakistan was preparing for major escalation if last-ditch diplomacy fails.

Pakistan's military and foreign ministry issued a strong condemnation of Iran's attacks on Saudi Arabian oil infrastructure, including the Jubail industrial zone and Sadara petrochemical complex. The Pakistani Army's 274th Corps Commander conference and ISPR statement condemned the attacks as an unnecessary escalation that undermines regional stability. This represents a major diplomatic shift — Pakistan had been acting as a backchannel between Iran and the US, and had proposed a 45-day ceasefire that Iran rejected. With Pakistan now publicly aligning with Saudi Arabia against Iranian attacks, that diplomatic channel appears closed.
