PTI Strongly Condemns Assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei

Says Khamenei Killing Threatens Global Peace, Destabilizes Region

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) expressed its profound sorrow and unequivocal condemnation of the assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling it a violation of international law, a destabilizing act for the region, and a step toward global chaos and conflict.

In a statement issued by PTI Central Media Department (CMD), PTI said 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,” the statement reads.

PTI stated that the assassination undermined international law, destabilised the region, and pushed the world further toward chaos and conflict. PTI urges the United States and Israel to immediately cease any further illegal aggression or escalatory actions. The party emphasized that with civilians gathered in large numbers on roads and in public spaces during this mourning period, the risk of civilian casualties is significantly heightened.

PTI stated that 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 party added.

PTI asserted that 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,” the party maintained.

PTI reiterated 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, the statement concluded.
