As tensions between Iran and Israel continue to simmer, Pakistan has denied Iran’s bold claim that it had 'assured' a nuclear strike on Israel in the event of an Israeli nuclear attack on Iran

"Our message is very clear for Israel: Dare not look at Pakistan," Dar said, adding Pakistan had the strength and resolve to give a befitting response to any malafide action. He recalled that the entire world saw the unity shown by the people of Pakistan in the wake of Indian aggression.

Pakistan has withdrawn families of its diplomats and some non-essential staff from Iran due to regional tensions following Israeli attacks. Despite the withdrawal, the Pakistani Embassy in Tehran and its Consulates remain operational.

The Iran-Israel conflict has shuttered airspace across the Middle East as the two bitter enemies launch attacks and reprisals at one another.

Pakistan will launch a nuclear attack on Israel if it drops a nuclear bomb on Iran, a top officer of Iran's elite forces has claimed amid rising tensions in the Middle East.

Pakistan officials said the decision to close the border with Iran was taken due to ‘the volatile situation created due to the strikes by Israel’. The closure impacts key points vital for cross-border

Should the tensions between Iran and Israel intensify, Pakistan – and its lengthy border with Iran – will become a valuable geopolitical asset for the United States. This might enhance U.S. military and financial assistance to Pakistan, which India would undoubtedly oppose.

Pakistan is also developing new delivery systems and expanding its stockpile of nuclear material. In early 2025, an armed conflict broke out between India and Pakistan, raising the threat of a nuclear crisis.
