“These are irresponsible and false news,” he said, adding that the statements had become viral on the Internet, and that even the media of the United Kingdom Daily mail He picked it up.
He said: “From our side, there has not been such a statement. It was manufactured.”
He also addressed an alleged video of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, allegedly urging Pakistan to stay out of Israel-Iran’s conflict. Similarly, he said that a widely circulated interview with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who intended to be recent, was in fact since 2011. Such misleading content is causing confusion and is being closely monitored by the Foreign Ministry, he told the Senate.

Speaking about the conflict of Iran-Israel, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said: “We wanted the Iran-United States [nuclear] Talk to succeed. I must appreciate the Foreign Minister of Oman and Iran, who kept me aware during the process of the four rounds of conversations in Muscat and Rome. “

“Even at that time, we said that it is Pakistan’s declared policy. It is for the purpose of self -defense. It is our deterrence. It was important for parity, peace and security in this region,” he said, and added that the “Indian show of having hegemium and supremacy over us [Pakistan]”He was buried on May 10, after the recent tensions of Pakistan-India.

Separately, the Minister of Defense, Khawaja Asif, warned the global community that is “cautious and apprehensive” of Israel’s nuclear arsenal, in the midst of Tel Aviv’s aggression against its neighbors in the region.
Israel has about 90 nuclear eyes, according to the control center and non -proliferation of nuclear weapons based in the United States. There are multiple resolutions of the United Nations (UN) with respect to Israel’s nuclear arsenal, including resolution 41/93 of the UN General Assembly, which urged Tel Aviv to give up their weapons and place its facilities under safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
After months of attacking Gaza, flattening houses, attacked to hospitals and humanitarian workers, and hunger for a besieged population, Israel has expanded its assault through the borders, launching large -scale air attacks against Iran last week. Israeli officials have affirmed that strikes are part of a broader operation of “ascending lion” to deter Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
“(The) world must be cautious and apprehensive about Israel’s nuclear skill, a country that is not obliged by any international nuclear discipline, nor NPT signatory or any other binding agreement,” he said in a position in X.
“We do not seek hegemonic policies against our neighbors, who are being widely demonstrated by Israel these days,” Asif continued, referring to Israel’s aggression in the region.
The Minister of Defense added that Pakistan was a signatory for all international nuclear disciplines.
“Our nuclear capacity is for the benefit of our people and the defense of our country against the hostile designs of our enemies,” said Asif.
Asif said that the western world should worry about the conflicts generated by Israel, adding that it would wrap the entire region and beyond.
“His sponsorship of Israel, a dishonest state, can have catastrophic consequences,” Asif warned.
Israel was able to produce nuclear weapons in the late 1960s. It is estimated that there are about 90 nuclear eyes based on plutonium in this country and that Israel has produced enough plutonium for 100-200 weapons.
Tel Aviv is not part of the TNP: a 1970 agreement aimed at preventing the propagation of nuclear weapons, promoting disarmament and guaranteeing the peaceful use of nuclear technology.
“Although Israel Refrains from informing the international community about OUT VERIFICATION ACTIVITIES FOR THE WORK CARRIED OUT, ”Heinz Gartner, A Professor from The University of The Vienna Told Anadolu agency.
Pakistan is also not signatory to the TNP, but often reiterates its commitment to the principles of security and non -nuclear proliferation through other international frameworks.
