Sources claim the aircraft flew to Pakistan’s Nur Khan Air Base after tensions between the United States and Iran increased. The move reportedly aimed to protect the aircraft during the conflict.

Pakistan has strongly denied the claim. Officials said no Iranian military aircraft used Pakistani bases. They also said such activity would be easy to notice because the airbase lies near a busy city area.

The issue has raised fresh questions about Pakistan’s diplomatic position in the region. Analysts say the Iranian aircraft sheltered at Pakistani airbase reports may increase global scrutiny and political debate.

Dar confirmed that Indian drones targeted the Noor Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi’s Chaklala area. He admitted that the strike damaged the military facility and injured personnel stationed there. His remarks marked a rare public acceptance by a senior Pakistani leader.

According to Dar, India launched multiple drones into Pakistani territory within a short span. He claimed that at least 80 drones entered Pakistan over 36 hours. Pakistan intercepted 79 of them, while one drone caused damage to the airbase.

He said Pakistan’s civil and military leadership held an emergency meeting on the night of May 9. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif led the discussions to assess the evolving situation. Dar added that India carried out the Noor Khan strike on the morning of May 10.

Operation Sindoor followed the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 civilians. Indian armed forces launched the operation to target terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Dar’s statement signals a significant moment in regional military and diplomatic discourse.

Analysts argue that if Pakistan can raise the Ayodhya issue at international forums and China can repeatedly claim Arunachal Pradesh, then India must openly spotlight Islamabad’s human rights abuses in Balochistan and Beijing’s pressure on Taiwan. With India now among the world’s top economies, a major defence power, and a key geopolitical player, critics believe the old “we don’t interfere in others’ internal matters” approach is outdated.

Pakistan remains burdened by economic collapse and IMF dependence, while China faces slowing growth, demographic decline, and growing global distrust. Experts say this provides India with a strategic opportunity to strengthen ties with Taiwan, expose Balochistan repression, and counter both nations diplomatically.

With China–Pakistan alignment deepening, strategic voices insist that India must shed defensive diplomacy and adopt a confident, proactive stance befitting a “New India” in 2025.

Kiriakou revealed that many Pakistanis were angered when he said Pakistan could never defeat India in a conventional war. He received threats, including warnings from supporters of a former Pakistani Prime Minister, who sent him a formal letter demanding an immediate apology.

Responding in his trademark blunt style, Kiriakou said he “wiped and threw away that letter”, dismissing Pakistan’s outrage entirely.

In his earlier interview with ANI, he stated: “Nothing good—absolutely nothing—will come from a real war between India and Pakistan because the Pakistanis will lose. They will lose. And I’m not talking about nuclear weapons; I’m talking only about a conventional war.”

Kiriakou, known for his forthright views, said Pakistan must accept the geopolitical reality instead of issuing threats or seeking apologies for factual assessments.

Investigative teams from both India and Pakistan have been reviewing her background and movements. Their goal is to understand how she separated from the 1,932-member jatha that travelled to Pakistan on November 4 for the Parkash Purab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Immigration records confirm she crossed into Pakistan with the group via the Attari border. After ten days of visiting historic gurdwaras, the jatha returned to India. However, only 1,922 pilgrims came back. Sarabjit was missing when the final headcount was completed.

Authorities are now examining the circumstances that allowed her to remain in Pakistan and the process that led to her religious conversion and marriage.

He last scored a century during the 2023 Asia Cup against Nepal. The gap stretched to 807 days, adding to the scrutiny surrounding his form. His latest hundred is now his eighth on home soil, pushing him past Mohammad Yousuf. It also marked his 20th ODI century, drawing level with Saeed Anwar for the most by a Pakistani batter.

A striking coincidence added extra buzz. Virat Kohli also ended his own century drought after exactly 83 innings during the 2022 Asia Cup.

Police said the jatha included more than 1,900 Sikh pilgrims. Officials began checking her whereabouts after her absence was confirmed. Three FIRs have been registered in Kapurthala, and immigration authorities in Pakistan have notified their Indian counterparts about the case.

Sarbjit was also scheduled to visit other major Sikh shrines during the 10-day pilgrimage. This was the first jatha allowed to travel after Operation Sindoor, following months of restricted movement. The Union government had granted approval on October 2 after earlier refusing permission due to security concerns.

Authorities are now coordinating with her family and village representatives as the investigation moves forward.

The minister’s statement comes in the wake of a suicide bombing in Islamabad that killed 12 people and injured over 30. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the deadly attack. Following the incident, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif accused “India-backed groups” of aiding terrorism in the country, while Asif blamed the Afghan Taliban, calling the bombing “a message from Kabul.”

Asif asserted that Pakistan has “the full strength to respond” if such attacks continue, warning that the government in Kabul must take responsibility for cross-border terrorism. The defence minister’s remarks appear to be an attempt to project military strength despite Pakistan’s worsening economic crisis and strained diplomatic relations.

Asif also courted controversy for downplaying the recent high-intensity car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort, which killed 13 people. He described the explosion as a “gas cylinder blast” and accused India of “politicising the issue” to frame Pakistan.

Indian security officials dismissed his comments as “baseless propaganda,” saying they reflect Islamabad’s nervousness following forensic reports indicating that the Delhi explosion involved military-grade explosives.

The provocative rhetoric comes at a time when Pakistan faces increasing domestic instability and renewed militant threats, raising concerns about regional security and diplomatic tensions with India and Afghanistan.

Investigators said Tellis removed secret papers from Defense Department offices and kept them at his home in Vienna, Virginia. Surveillance showed him printing “Secret” and “Top Secret” files between September 12 and 25, 2025. The FBI reported that he hid the papers inside notepads and placed them in a leather briefcase.

Court records also described Tellis’s meetings with Chinese officials in recent years. They reportedly discussed issues like artificial intelligence, Iran-China ties, and US-Pakistan relations. In one meeting, he carried a manila envelope and did not return with it.

Tellis serves as a senior adviser to the State Department and a contractor for the Defense Department’s Office of Net Assessment. If convicted, he could face ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
