Pakistan strongly condemns the attack on the Consular Section of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, Syria

ISLAMABAD, April 02 (SABAH): Pakistan has strongly condemned the attack on the Consular Section of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, Syria.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch in a statement issued on Tuesday said that we offer our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and the people and the Government of Iran.

She said that the attack is an unacceptable violation of the sovereignty of Syria and undermines its stability and security. It is a violation of international law and the UN Charter. Attacks against diplomats or diplomatic facilities are also illegal under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961.

Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said that the irresponsible act of the Israeli forces is a major escalation in an already volatile region. We call on the UN Security Council to prevent Israel from its adventurism in the region and its illegal acts attacking its neighbours and targeting foreign diplomatic facilities.
