Pakistan has firmly denied claims that it supplied non-nuclear ballistic missiles to Iran, labeling the reports as unfounded and part of a coordinated disinformation campaign allegedly driven by Indian media and its affiliated foreign outlets.
The denial follows a viral statement circulated on social media that falsely suggested Pakistan was involved in the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel. The statement, accompanied by images of Iranian and Pakistani flags, claimed that Pakistan had pledged military support to Iran and hinted at a possible nuclear response against Israel.
Security and diplomatic sources categorically rejected the assertions, clarifying that Pakistan has not provided missiles to Iran and has no intention of entering the conflict. The claim that Pakistan’s military will join Iran in a joint operation against Israel was dismissed as baseless propaganda.
The misinformation emerged amid renewed hostilities between Iran and Israel. Overnight strikes from both sides have intensified, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warning that further action against Iran is forthcoming. Meanwhile, Iran has called off nuclear negotiations, citing Israeli aggression and U.S. complicity.
The United States has warned Iran against targeting American assets, with President Trump asserting that the conflict could be resolved swiftly if Tehran refrains from further escalation.
On the ground, the toll of Israeli airstrikes continues to rise. Iranian media reported that at least 128 people have been killed, including women and children, with around 900 others injured. Rescue efforts are ongoing, with teams searching through rubble in residential areas destroyed in the attacks.
Iranian sources emphasized that many of the casualties were civilians, with Etemad daily citing the health ministry’s figures, noting the significant number of women and children among the dead.
