Statement by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Shahadat of Supreme Leader Imam Ayatollah Ali Khamenei:
“Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf expresses its profound sorrow and unequivocal condemnation of the assassination of Imam Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
This assassination undermines international law, destabilises the region, and pushes the world further toward chaos and conflict.
We extend our deepest condolences to the people of Iran during this time of grief and uncertainty. The loss of the Supreme Leader of the Iranian people is a moment of profound mourning for Iran and the brotherly people of Pakistan.
PTI urges the United States and Israel to immediately cease any further illegal aggression or escalatory actions.
With civilians gathered in large numbers on roads and in public spaces during this mourning period, the risk of civilian casualties is significantly heightened.
Even in the most difficult and barbaric of times, the sanctity of civilian life must be respected, and restraint must prevail over retaliation.
At the same time, we call upon Iran to exercise responsibility and caution. Reports indicating that drones have struck civilian residences and public places in neighbouring Arab states are deeply concerning. The protection of innocent lives must remain paramount, and any actions that endanger non-combatants must cease immediately. We call upon all states to desist from providing any form of support for the aggression launched by Israel and the US against Iran.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf reiterates its principled stance in favor of international law, sovereignty, restraint, and the protection of civilian life. The path forward must be guided by diplomacy, accountability, and an urgent commitment to de-escalation.“
