Iran Israel war: Pakistan betrays Iran! Foreign minister Ishaq Dar makes shocking claim, says...
Israel-Iran war has entered its day. In the meantime, Pakistan has made shocking claims. In a video, Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has apparently assured Iran that if Israel launched a nuclear attack on Iran, Pakistan would also launch a nuclear attack on Israel. Dar has, howver, termed a viral video as false and fabricated
Ishaq Dar said in Parliament that a video is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which an Iranian general is seen making such a claim. He clearly said that no such thing has happened and this is irresponsible and false news. He also said that this false claim is not only spreading on the internet, but a UK media channel also reported on it which is not correct.
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said that Pakistan's nuclear policy has remained the same since 1998, there has been no change in it. He stressed that Pakistan has not made any such statement, as claimed in a viral video. He called it completely false and fabricated. Dar said, 'Our nuclear policy is for self-defense. We had made this clear at that time also and this is the policy even now.
According to a report by Aaj Tak, Ishaq Dar warned Israel, 'Israel cannot even look at Pakistan with raised eyes. We have full power to respond to any action with malicious intent. Our army is fully alert.'
What did Ishaq Dar say on US President Trump's video?
He also referred to a viral video of US President Donald Trump, in which it was being claimed that Trump has asked Pakistan to stay away from Israel-Iran tensions. Dar said that this video was created by AI (Artificial Intelligence) and is not real.
He appealed to the people not to trust false and unverified news and to consider only the information received from government sources as true.

How Kashmir's aspiring doctors demand rescue from an alien war
As missiles fly overhead and smoke billows from the ruins all around, all that Moin Mushtaq, a third-year MBBS student at the Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences holed up with six colleagues in a deserted dormitory, can see through the smashed windows are scenes of agony and devastation caused by the Israel-Iran conflict. 'This is hell, literally, with power outages and the internet going down,' the 22-year-old medical student from north Kashmir's Kupwara says on the phone late in the night on June 16, trying to speak over the noise of a missile attack on Iran's Ahvaz city. 'We're the only ones left behind. The locals and students from UAE and Pakistan have been evacuated.'Iran caters to a modest chunk of Kashmiri students—around 1,500 by unofficial estimates—mainly because the Valley's significant Shia population finds a cultural resonance of sorts in the Shiite-dominated Islamic Republic and students seeking an overseas education find its offerings affordable, especially in medicine, often with attractive scholarships. Now, with the Iran-Israel conflict spiralling into a full-blown war, Mushtaq's doctor dreams are teetering on the brink as he desperately seeks evacuation to India. 'We've been weeping and calling the Indian embassy for help but they only tell us to wait or travel 1,500 kilometres on our own to safety. How can we cover such a distance with the missiles, shells and drones over our heads?' he are four Kashmiri female students in the nearby girl's dormitory. Their internet is down; there is no electricity and the only line of communication is the phone—also in its last gasp as the recharging facilities are in ruins. Students in Ahvaz say the attacks are now directed at the city as it is the hub of oil-refineries and Iran's energy centre. 'We're counting our days, and each one feels like a year as we stare at our phones for help to come our way,' says another student in university, students say, is now making them sign an undertaking that they are staying in the dormitory even after all the academic activities have been shut. According to the declaration, a copy of which is with India Today, the students' decision to stay back is their own and the university is not accountable for Capital city Tehran has been the worst-hit due to Israeli missiles so far. Two Kashmiri students ended up with injuries to their arms and legs and scratches on their faces after a shell landed in the street beside the Hujjat Dost dormitory of the Tehran University of Medical Sciences on the evening of June the nearly 10,000 Indian citizens in Iran, in 2022 there were around 2,050 students, mostly in the medical domain, according to Ministry of External Affairs data. Since June 16, the Indian government has set the evacuation process in motion, prioritising the relocation of students from Tehran to the Qom and Ramsar cities 150-250 kilometres away. In Qom, over 600 students have been assembled in big halls with no connection to their families as the internet is unavailable.'We don't want to be huddled like this here while fearing for our lives,' says a 21-year-old medical student. 'No place is safe here. Our parents are worried and we just want to be home. The government should arrange special flights for us like it did during the Russia-Ukraine conflict.'Not everyone, though, can afford to return home. Many students, nearing the completion of their degrees, are desperately praying for a ceasefire to prevent their careers from plunging into uncertainty. 'I'm in my last year of MBBS and a ceasefire could save my career,' says Aayat, a third-year MBBS student at the Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, who was relocated to Qomb on the evening of June 16. 'Otherwise, no one knows what the future holds.'advertisementThe considerable number of Indian citizens, especially students, are keeping India's evacuation efforts racing against time as Iran and Israel pummel each other with missiles and drones in a major conflict that shows no signs of ebbing. Back home in Kashmir, the panicking parents are requesting the government to facilitate their children's return. 'Please evacuate our children. They've been getting panic attacks,' says a weeping Rehana, whose daughter studies medicine at the Shahid Beheshti University. 'They're having sleepless nights and we here lie helpless and in distress.'On June 16, a group of parents held a demonstration at Srinagar's Pratap Park, opposite the Press Enclave, seeking speedy evacuation of their children from Iran. In a statement on June 17, the Ministry of External Affairs said the Indian students have been moved out from Tehran, while advising other Indian citizens in the capital city to move out in view of the 'developing situation'. Some Indians, it said, have been facilitated in leaving Iran through the Armenian border from where, say sources, a direct flight to India will be to Armenia via the border route are 110 students, including 90 Kashmiris,' says Nasir Kheuhami, national convenor of the Jammu Kashmir Students Association (JKSA). 'We're in touch with all the stranded students on WhatsApp groups.'' On June 16, the JKSA wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, appealing for 'urgent intervention and evacuation' of students in the wake of a 'humanitarian emergency'.While the Union ministry has set up a round-the-clock control room for the Indian citizens in Iran, the J&K government has also set up one in Srinagar. Chief minister Omar Abdullah has spoken to external affairs minister S. Jaishankar for the 'welfare and safety of Kashmiri students' in Iran. 'The Hon Minister assured me that @MEAIndia is in close contact with their counterparts in Iran & will take all necessary steps to safeguard all Indian students in Iran,' Abdullah said on X on the evening of June relocation efforts, since the morning of June 17, have been heightened by the Indian Embassy in Iran but there are still many, especially in high-risk areas in the outlier cities, awaiting help. Questions also loom over the government's evacuation plans for its citizens in the conflict-torn had stocked some eggs, potatoes and lentils that will last two more days,' says Mushtaq, stranded with his six colleagues in the dormitory.

'One-Sided Rhetoric': Iran Slams G7 For Siding With Israel In De-Escalation Call
Last Updated: At the G7 summit in Canada, leaders - including US President Donald Trump - had called for "de-escalation" of the conflict while saying Israel had the right to defend itself. Iran accused the G7 group of siding with Israel in its call for 'de-escalation" in their intensifying conflict, which has now entered its fifth day. Tehran said it was defending itself against 'cruel aggression" and hundreds of people had been killed in the Israeli offensive. 'The G7 must give up its one-sided rhetoric and tackle the real source of the escalation — Israel's aggression," said Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei. 'Israel has launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran… in violation of… the UN Charter." At the G7 summit in Canada on Monday, leaders, including US President Donald Trump, had called for 'de-escalation" of the conflict while stressing Israel had the right to defend itself. The G7 leaders said Iran was the main source of instability in the region", adding that it could never have a nuclear weapon". The air war between Iran and Israel – which began on Friday when Israel attacked Iran with air strikes – has raised alarms in a region that had already been on edge since the start of Israel's military assault on Gaza in October 2023. 'Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East," said the G7 statement. Israel attacked Iran on Friday in what it called a preemptive strike to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons, killing at least 224 people so far. Iran responded by launching hundreds of missiles and drones into Israel, killing 24 people. Iran has denied seeking nuclear weapons and has said it has the right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, including enrichment, as a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Meanwhile, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said meanwhile that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could face the same fate as Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, who was toppled in a U.S.-led invasion and eventually hanged after a trial. 'I warn the Iranian dictator against continuing to commit war crimes and fire missiles at Israeli citizens," Katz told top Israeli military officials. Shortly after, Iran's state media reported an explosion was heard in Tehran. Israel's military said Iran's military leadership is 'on the run" and that it had killed Iran's wartime chief of staff Ali Shadmani overnight four days into his job after replacing another top commander killed in the strikes.
