NSC Meets Amid Regional Tensions Over Israel-Iran Conflict

A high-level meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) is currently underway in Islamabad, chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The meeting, taking place at the Prime Minister’s House, brings together key civil and military leadership to assess the evolving regional security landscape.

According to official sources, the country’s top military commanders, federal ministers, and senior officials are attending the crucial session. The NSC is Pakistan’s highest forum for coordinating national security and foreign policy in response to emerging threats and crises.

The primary focus of the meeting is the rapidly escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, as well as the serious implications of a recent U.S. strike on Iranian territory. The forum is expected to discuss the regional security fallout of these events and their potential impact on Pakistan’s foreign policy, internal stability, and strategic posture.

“The NSC will deliberate on the geopolitical situation arising from the Israel-Iran war, and in particular, the consequences of the U.S. attack on Iran,” a senior government official said on condition of anonymity. “Pakistan’s response and preparedness to deal with any regional aftershocks will also be on the agenda.”

The meeting comes at a time of growing tension in the Middle East, raising concerns about broader instability in the region and its ripple effects on South Asia. Analysts suggest the NSC may take important policy decisions or issue strategic guidance in light of these developments.

Pakistan has historically advocated for de-escalation and dialogue in the Middle East and has warned against unilateral military actions that could provoke a wider war. The Foreign Office has called for restraint from all sides in recent statements.

With regional alliances being tested and global powers increasingly involved, the decisions emerging from today’s NSC meeting could set the tone for Pakistan’s diplomatic and strategic engagement in the weeks ahead.

Further updates will follow as the meeting concludes and official statements are released.
