Ahmad condemned the 'unwarranted attacks' against Iran and Gulf nations, stating that these actions violate international law and threaten regional stability. He emphasized that such military actions undermine dialogue and erode trust, particularly at a time when renewed diplomatic efforts were underway. Ahmad expressed condolences to civilians affected by the violence, including the family of a Pakistani national killed in the UAE, and praised Oman's role in mediating discussions between Iran and the United States.
