This programme has been achieved by the Pakistani nation through immense sacrifices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said that misleading misinformation was being spread and urged caution. &#8220;A clip about US President Trump was circulating yesterday, but it was later discovered to be AI-generated,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He mentioned that after June 13, several fake news stories emerged.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Netanyahu&#8217;s interview being circulated is from 2011. In such a sensitive situation, everyone should act responsibly. This is not child&#8217;s play &#8211; a serious kind of war is underway. Iran&#8217;s foreign minister remained in constant contact with me during the negotiations,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed the need for caution: &#8220;A lot of wrong and misleading news is spreading. War is no joke. We must clarify things regarding fake news. The reports suggesting that Pakistan would launch a nuclear strike on Israel in case of an attack on Iran are baseless. Our nuclear and missile programs are solely for our own defence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He, however, made it clear that Pakistan was on high alert in view of the regional tensions and warned Israel not to cast an evil eye on Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our message is very clear for Israel: Dare not look at Pakistan,&#8221; Dar said, adding Pakistan had the strength and resolve to give a befitting response to any malafide action.<\/p>\n<p>He recalled that the entire world saw the unity shown by the people of Pakistan in the wake of Indian aggression.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;God willing, we will remain united. When it comes to safeguarding the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Pakistan, we are all one,&#8221; he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By the grace of Almighty, we have enough strength that whoever dares to look at us with hostility, we will respond with greater force,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Dar said that the foreign ministers of Oman and Iran kept him updated on developments. &#8220;We played our role regarding the UN Security Council meeting, and Iran expressed gratitude to Pakistan for its support,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar also stated that due to the Iran-Israel tensions, Iranian pilgrims had become stranded in Saudi Arabia. &#8220;Iran requested our assistance,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will welcome the Iranian pilgrims at Karachi Airport, issue them on-arrival visas, and allow them to stay in Karachi. Afterwards, the Iranian government will take them back via shuttle service through road routes,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, the Pakistani foreign minister said that a serious nature of war has already started between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are making every effort for dialogue, particularly for successful negotiations between the United States and Iran.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Ishaq Dar, Iran&#8217;s foreign minister had taken him into confidence regarding the talks with the US.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Pakistan has supported Iran diplomatically, and Iran has also appreciated Pakistan&#8217;s role.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have been in contact with Iran&#8217;s foreign minister, and he has said that they will give a strong response to Israel.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan on Monday strongly rejected claims that it threatened to nuke Israel if it dropped an atom bomb on Iran, even as the foreign minister warned Tel Aviv &#8220;dare not look at Pakistan&#8221; with an evil eye.
