ISLAMABAD: Security officials in Pakistan have dismissed recent claims suggesting that the country has provided Iran with non-nuclear ballistic missiles, describing such reports as unfounded and part of a disinformation campaign fueled by Indian media outlets and their international partners.
The controversy arose after social media posts circulated alleging Pakistan’s involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict, accompanied by images of Pakistani and Iranian flags. Diplomatic sources have dismissed these claims as false, emphasizing that Pakistan has not supplied any military aid or missiles to Iran and that the accusations are misleading.
Officials clarified that any assertions of Pakistan’s military support to Iran, including the claim of delivering a “nuclear response” against Israel, are entirely fabricated. These statements were made amidst ongoing hostilities between Israel and Iran, which saw renewed clashes over the weekend. The US president warned Iran against escalation, emphasizing that the conflict could be resolved peacefully.
Meanwhile, rescue efforts continue in Israel where authorities are searching through the debris of residential structures destroyed in recent airstrikes. At least seven civilians, including children, have lost their lives, with rescue teams deploying sniffer dogs and flashlights to locate survivors.Iran has officially suspended nuclear negotiations with Western powers, citing the ongoing Israeli strikes as a major obstacle. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the current Israeli military operations are only a prelude to more intense actions in the coming days.
Reports from Iranian media indicate that the recent Israeli attacks have resulted in at least 128 fatalities and hundreds wounded, including women and children, with the death toll expected to rise as rescue efforts continue.
