Pakistan condemned President Donald Trump on Sunday following his strikes on Iran after nominating him for a Nobel Peace Prize two days prior.

“Pakistan condemns the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities which follow the series of attacks by Israel,” the Pakistani government wrote in a post on X on Sunday. “We are gravely concerned at the possible further escalation of tensions in the region.”

Hours later, the Pakistani government posted that a phone conversation was held between Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan and Masoud Pezeshkian, the president of Iran. Sharif reportedly expressed his country’s support for Iran.

“The Prime Minister expressed concerns that the U.S. strikes had targeted facilities that were under the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),” the Pakistani government wrote in a post on X on Sunday. “These attacks constituted a serious violation of international law and the IAEA Statute.”

The Pakistani government is advocating “dialogue and diplomacy” moving forward, according to the post.

Pakistan’s condemnation of Trump comes two days after it nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize for the role he played in de-escalating a conflict between Pakistan and India in May. 

“This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker and his commitment to conflict resolution through dialogue,” the government wrote in a post on X on Friday. “President Trump’s leadership during the 2025 Pakistan India crisis manifestly showcases the continuation of his legacy of pragmatic diplomacy and effective peace-building.”

The conflict, the largest between Pakistan and India in decades, lasted from May 7 to May 10. It consisted of air, missile, and drone strikes that resulted in dozens of casualties for each country.

Concerned about escalation between the two nuclear powers, the Trump administration stepped in and helped facilitate a ceasefire between them on May 10, taking credit for the truce. Pakistan supported Trump’s claim, while India did not.

Pakistan has not signaled whether it will revoke its nomination after the recent strikes.
