According to a report published by Pakistan’s state-run PTV, diplomatic sources have specifically dismissed a statement circulating on social media and carried by a segment of Indian media, falsely attributing a claim to Pakistan about delivering a “nuclear response” against Israel in support of Iran.

They also clarified that any suggestion of Pakistan’s military joining the conflict alongside Iran is entirely fabricated.
“Manufactured controversies”
Senior security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated that these allegations are a deliberate misinformation campaign orchestrated by certain foreign and Indian media outlets and their affiliates, aimed at maligning Pakistan’s image and drawing it into “manufactured controversies.”
Pakistan has consistently advocated for regional stability and a peaceful resolution to conflicts. The denial comes as Israel and Iran continue to exchange missile attacks, intensifying calls from the international community for de-escalation.
