Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesperson Dr. Mohammad Faisal while responding to a question in his weekly press briefing in Islamabad about the escalating tensions in the Middle East — where the US has deployed an aircraft carrier, bombers and a strike force — said: “We are closely monitoring the situation and will keep you informed.”

Reiterating Pakistan’s position, he said the country supported resolution of all issues through dialogue.
