The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has officially denied reports regarding the deployment of Iranian aircraft at the Nur Khan airbase. Islamabad characterized the information, originally published by CBS News, as "false" and "sensationalist," emphasizing that no such military presence exists on its territory.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing the official statement from the Pakistani MFA, the government of Pakistan expressed concern over the dissemination of unverified reports. The ministry noted that such claims are intentionally designed to undermine ongoing efforts to maintain peace and stability within the region.
Relations between Pakistan and Iran have historically been complex, characterized by periods of both cooperation and cross-border tensions. The Nur Khan airbase, located in Rawalpindi, is a strategic military facility often used for high-level transport and logistics. This denial comes amid a sensitive geopolitical climate in South Asia and the Middle East, where military movements are closely monitored by international observers to prevent further escalation of regional conflicts.
