Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry has rejected media reports suggesting that Iranian military aircraft were stationed at the Nur Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi to protect them from possible US attacks. In a statement issued from Islamabad, the ministry described such reports as misleading and sensational, asserting that they were part of attempts to undermine regional stability and peace.

The reports, originally published by a US media outlet, alleged that Pakistan, while acting as a mediator in the ongoing US-Iran tensions, had secretly allowed Iranian warplanes to use its base as a shield. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry dismissed these claims, clarifying that the Iranian aircraft currently in Pakistan arrived during a ceasefire period and that their presence had no connection to any military emergency or protective arrangement.

The statement further emphasized that spreading unverified and speculative information without fact-checking distorts reality. Pakistan reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining regional peace and stability.
