Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar made the announcement on Sunday.
President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes attack targeting military and government sites, officials said.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was among those killed in Tehran on the first day of strikes, with his son Mojtaba Khamenei later chosen to succeed him. Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks targeting Israel, regional U.S. bases and multiple Gulf nations. Iran is also attempting to block some shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
Israel is also intensifying its long-running strike campaign against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in Lebanon and expanding its ground operations in the south of the country.

Kuwait’s main port was attacked by drones Friday morning, authorities said.
Preliminary information indicates the attack resulted in damage to Shuwaikh Port but no casualties, according to the Kuwait Ports Authority.
"Emergency procedures in place for such cases have been activated in coordination with the relevant authorities," officials said.

President Donald Trump told Fox News' "The Five" that he was inclined to extend the deadline for Iran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz because Iran allowed oil-carrying vessels to pass safely through it this week.
Trump claimed that Iran asked for a seven-day extension, but he decided to give them 10 days.
“They said to me very nicely, through my people, 'Could we have more time?'" Trump said. "Because we are talking about tomorrow night, which is pretty quick, and if they don't do what they have to do, I will knock out their power plants."
"They asked for seven, and I said, 'I'm going to give you 10,' because they gave me ships," he said.
The president later referred to the ships as a sign that the U.S. was negotiating with the "right people."

The Israel Defense Forces announced that more troops are joining its forces currently in southern Lebanon. This comes after Israel's defense minister gave ominous warnings earlier this week and as strikes resume in southern Lebanon.
"The IDF will continue to operate with determination against the Hezbollah terrorist organization, which chose to join the attack on Israel and operate on behalf of the Iranian regime, and will not allow harm to Israeli civilians," the IDF said in a statement.
President Donald Trump said he has extended the deadline for U.S. and Iranian negotiators to reach a deal, during which the U.S. will not target energy facilities.
"As per Iranian Government request, please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction by 10 Days to Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8 P.M., Eastern Time. Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well," Trump said in a post on social media Thursday.
