ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is closely monitoring the evolving situation in Iran and has stressed that it does not want instability in the neighbouring country, warning that any upheaval could have serious security and economic repercussions for the region. Officials say Islamabad views the unrest as Iran’s internal matter but remains concerned about potential spillover effects.
Pakistan has issued a travel advisory for Iran and activated contingency plans for its nationals amid reports of violence, internet shutdowns and heightened security. The Pakistani ambassador in Tehran has urged citizens to strictly follow immigration and travel requirements.
Analysts warn that prolonged instability in Iran could disrupt cross-border trade, worsen border security challenges and increase refugee pressures. Islamabad’s priority, officials say, remains stability in Iran and avoiding any regional escalation involving global powers.
