ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has firmly rejected fake reports linking Pakistan to the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict.
He warned against the dangers of spreading misinformation, especially in a time of regional tension.
Speaking in the Senate, Dar emphasized that war is no joke, and misleading content, especially involving nuclear threats, must be addressed responsibly.
He confirmed that Iran had shown willingness to engage in dialogue, but only if Israel stops further acts of aggression.
Dar revealed that Pakistan has already conveyed Iran’s peace signal to the concerned international stakeholders.
He further offered Pakistan’s readiness to facilitate negotiations between the two sides to prevent further escalation.
Pakistan Denies Nuclear Threat Allegations
The Foreign Minister clarified that Pakistan has never made any nuclear threat toward Israel.
He explained that some of the content circulating online falsely attributes aggressive statements to Pakistani leadership.
This includes AI-generated videos and outdated remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, which are being misrepresented in today’s context.
Dar pointed out that Netanyahu’s comments being shared widely are from 2011 and are not related to the current scenario.
“Let there be no doubt,” he said, “Pakistan has issued no such threat, and we condemn the use of such fake content.”
He reiterated that any clip or message not officially issued by Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry should be considered unauthentic.
Dar Urges Media to Act Responsibly
Highlighting the serious consequences of fabricated news, Dar appealed to media outlets and individuals to verify facts before sharing them.
He warned that false narratives could fuel unnecessary panic and tension in the region.
Dar also stressed that Pakistan’s armed forces are fully alert and capable of defending the nation against any threat.
He concluded with a clear message: “Israel does not dare look toward Pakistan with hostility. We stand ready and vigilant.”
Pakistan continues to advocate for peace, regional stability, and the importance of truthful reporting.
