Islamabad/IBNS: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's alleged accidental post featuring the word "condom" instead of "condemn" while reacting to the Israel-Iran conflict has triggered a memefest online.

Shehbaz intended to condemn the Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites.

"I Condom, in the strongest possible terms, today's unprovoked attack on Iran by Israel. I convey my deepest sympathies to the Iranian people on the loss of lives in this attack. This grave and highly irresponsible act is deeply alarming and risks further de-stabilising an already volatile region.

"We urge the international community and the United Nations to take urgent steps to prevent any further escalation that could imperil regional and global peace," the Pakistani Prime Minister wrote this as per the screenshots shared by netizens.

The Prime Minister's post comes at a time Israel and Iran are striking and counter striking with missiles inflaming the situation in the Middle East.
