Following recent US air strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, a surge of fake news and misinformation has emerged on social media, falsely alleging Pakistani military cooperation in the attacks.

Pakistani security sources and the Foreign Office have categorically denied these reports, labelling them baseless propaganda.

False claims, particularly from anti-state and foreign social media accounts, including Indian handles, have circulated widely — most notably a post by the account @rkmtimes on platform X, alleging that Pakistan allowed its airspace, waters, and military facilities to be used by US bombers, warships, and submarines.

These allegations have been strongly rejected by Pakistan’s official sources.

Security officials clarified that neither the US nor Israel used Pakistan’s air, land, or maritime routes in the June 21–22 operations.

The Foreign Office reaffirmed this stance and reminded the public of Pakistan’s official condemnation of the attacks, which was issued shortly after the incident.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also emphasized Pakistan’s clear and consistent policy of not participating in foreign wars, military alliances, or bloc politics.

It stressed that Pakistan fully respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations, and supports Iran’s right to self-defence under the UN Charter.

“Pakistan has made its position unambiguous: it will not become a party to any external military conflict,” said a senior security source.

“We remain committed to peace and regional stability.”

In response to the evolving crisis, Pakistan is actively engaging with all relevant parties and international stakeholders to promote de-escalation and diplomatic solutions.

The Foreign Office noted that Pakistan is advocating for a durable, dignified, and mutually acceptable peace, warning that continued escalation could trigger widespread instability across the region.

“Peace must be given a chance — not through force, but through dialogue and diplomacy,” the Foreign Office said.

“Pakistan believes that every conflict must ultimately be resolved at the negotiation table, and time is of the essence to prevent a broader crisis.”
