# Pakistan’s ministry of Foreign Affairs says it is following with deep concern the recent incidents that are further escalating tensions in the Middle East. The US and Iran traded another round of strikes over the weekend, with Washington striking more than 140 targets across Tehran. In retaliation, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched attacks on US bases and allies across the region. Pakistan, which has played a key role in mediating peace talks, has urged both sides to exercise restraint and uphold the commitments made in the memorandum of understanding.
