Pakistan fears it could be next on Israel's 'list'.
Israel-Iran war: The raging Israel-Iran war has also triggered panic among other Muslim nations, including Pakistan, fearing that Israel has launched a 'crusade' against the entire Muslim world, and they could be next on the Jewish state's 'hit-list' after Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and more recently Iran. 'Pakistan could be next'
A recent statement made by Pakistani MP Asad Qaiser in the country's parliament has gone viral, in which the politician warned that the Pakistan could be next on Israel's list, and military cooperation between India and Israel was the biggest threat to Islamabad.
Speaking in the National Assembly of Pakistan– lower house of the country's parliament– Asad Qaiser flagged the threat Islamabad faces due to India-Israel military ties, and also warned that Israel could also attack Pakistan as the country shares a 1200km border with Iran.
'During the recent India-Pakistan conflict, the majority of drones and loitering munitions used by Indian forces were Israeli made,' he said, adding 'Allah have mercy, after Iran, its (Israel's) next target could be Pakistan'. The parliamentarian also urged the Pakistani government to stand with Iran in its war with Israel.
'We are with our Iranian brothers and fully support them at this difficult and dangerous period of time,' he added. Israel-Iran war
Israel launched its fiercest attack on Iran, unleashing a wave of pre-dawn air strikes on Iranian cities on Friday, including capital Tehran, under Operation Rising Lion, in which several top Iranian nuclear scientists and military commanders, including IRGC chief Hossein Salami, commander Ghulam-Ali Rashid, nuclear scientist Dr. Mohammad Tehranchi, nuclear scientist Dr. Fereydoon Abbasi and Iran's Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Mohammad Bagheri.
Tehran vowed to avenge the Israeli attack, stating that its response will be anything beyond what Israel and ally, the United States, could ever imagine, triggering the fears of a full-scale Iran-Israel war.
On the intervening night of Friday and Saturday, Iran responded with a barrage of missiles and drones that struck several Israeli cities and major population centers, including Tel Aviv. Israel launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iran on Saturday, killing more of Iran's top military brass and nuclear scientists.

'They've reported hearing sirens, feeling tremors, and witnessing heightened military activity,' he said. 'Some are in cities that have already been hit.' National Conference MP Aga Ruhullah said Israeli airstrikes struck Hujat Dost Ali hostel in Tehran, where several Kashmiri students are housed. 'Some have suffered minor injuries,' he said, urging Union government to relocate the students within Iran or evacuate them once the airspace reopens. Dozens of parents gathered at Srinagar's Press Enclave, holding photos of their children and playing voice recordings from students stuck in Iran.

"Precise striking capability of our brave soldiers has razed terrorist hideouts to ground": Amit Shah on Operation Sindoor
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 15 (ANI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that precise striking capability carried out by the Indian armed forces inside Pakistan territory completely destroyed terrorists hideouts during Operation Sindoor. Amit Shah made these remarks at a UP Police recruitment ceremony where more than 60,244 Civil Police Constables received appointment letters. 'Through Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Modi sent a message to the world that the blood of Indians shall not be spilled, and anyone who dares to do so will face severe punishment. Precise striking capability of our brave soldiers has razed terrorist hideouts to the ground, marking the beginning of a strong new India,' Amit Shah said. Recalling the India's response following 'nefarious' attacks in Uri, Pulwama, and Poonch, Amit Shah said, 'Modi government responded to Uri attack with a surgical strike, to Pulwama attack with an airstrike, and to Poonch attack with Operation Sindoor, destroying the terrorists' headquarters.' Operation Sindoor, initiated on May 7, 2025, in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 innocent civilians showcased a calibrated, tri-services response that embodied precision, professionalism, and purpose. Operation Sindoor was conceived as a punitive and targeted campaign to dismantle the terror infrastructure across the Line of Control and deeper inside Pakistan. This multi-dimensional operation effectively neutralized terrorist threats, deterred Pakistani aggression, and firmly enforced India's zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism. The operation maintained strategic restraint while gaining international support. (ANI)
