Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi stated that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the military leadership played a central role in the Iran-Israel conflict and the subsequent ceasefire between the two countries.
“Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif played a crucial role in the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, and the military also played a significant role in this regard. I will not go into, but the way PM negotiated with world leaders is something we must be proud of,” he said.
The 12-day war, which began with unprovoked Israeli military strikes in Iran on June 13, resulted in 610 deaths, including senior nuclear scientists and senior military commanders. In return, strikes from Iran 28 in Israel killed.
The United States took up the conflict on June 22 with Bunker-Buster bomb attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan. A US-broken ceasefire was reached on June 24, shortly after Iran launched missiles at the largest US airbase in the Middle East in Qatar.
