According to a statement issued by Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry, the two leaders expressed deep concern over the deteriorating regional situation in the wake of the unjustified Israeli aggression against Iran.
They reaffirmed their commitment to work closely to maintain peace and stability in the region and beyond.
Earlier, Iran launched missile strikes on Israeli cities in retaliation for Israeli aerial attacks deep inside the Islamic Republic on the fourth day of the escalating air war between the long-time adversaries.
After decades of enmity, Israel on Friday launched a surprise aerial campaign targeting sites across Iran, saying the attacks aimed to prevent Tehran from acquiring atomic weapons — a charge Tehran denies.
Israel’s strikes have so far killed at least 224 people, including top military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians, according to Iranian authorities.
