Pakistan Airbase Claims Rejected Amid Regional Peace Talks
Pakistan Airbase Claims made by a US media outlet have created diplomatic discussion. Pakistan’s Foreign Office strongly rejected the allegations on Tuesday. Officials described the report as misleading and harmful to regional peace efforts.
The controversy started after CBS News published a report citing unnamed US officials. The report claimed Pakistan allowed Iranian military aircraft to use its airbases during recent Middle East tensions. It also alleged that Iranian aircraft landed at Nur Khan Air Base after a ceasefire announcement by former US President Donald Trump.
However, Pakistan denied all claims related to military cooperation. The Foreign Office clarified that the aircraft arrived during ceasefire-related diplomatic engagements. In addition, officials stressed that the visits had no connection to military operations.
Foreign Office Clarifies Aircraft Presence
According to the Foreign Office, aircraft from Iran and the United States arrived for diplomatic coordination. These flights carried diplomats, security officials, and administrative teams linked to peace talks. Therefore, Pakistan described the arrangements as part of ongoing regional dialogue.
Officials also confirmed that some aircraft and support staff stayed temporarily in Pakistan. They remained available for future diplomatic discussions and meetings. Furthermore, the Iranian foreign minister continued high-level engagements in Islamabad under existing arrangements.
The ministry rejected claims about surveillance or military planning. Instead, officials highlighted Pakistan’s role as a neutral and responsible facilitator. They also emphasized regular communication with all concerned parties.
Pakistan Supports Peace Efforts
The Foreign Office said Pakistan remains committed to regional stability and peaceful dialogue. Leaders continue diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions across the Middle East. As a result, Pakistan aims to support long-term peace through balanced diplomacy.
Officials also warned against sensational reporting during sensitive international negotiations. They believe responsible communication can help strengthen trust and stability in the region.
