In a recent address at the Iranian embassy in Islamabad, President Asif Ali Zardari emphasized the critical need for peaceful engagement and dialogue to maintain regional stability, particularly concerning Iran. He warned that any military escalation involving Iran could destabilize the Gulf, South Asia, and Western Asia, with potentially severe global repercussions. 'Any instability involving Iran, or any attempt to resolve issues through military means, carries grave risks,' Zardari stated, as reported by Dawn and Pakistan Today. He underscored the importance of avoiding unilateral sanctions and coercive measures, advocating instead for constructive dialogue to promote peace and security.
