Pak BETRAYS ‘Brother’ Iran | ‘No Such Commitment’ | Pak on Iran’s ‘tit-fot’tat’ nuclear attack claim

Pakistan has denied claims that it would launch a nuclear strike on Israel if Iran were attacked. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif clarified that Pakistan’s nuclear capability is strictly for national defense—not for hegemonic agendas. This comes after Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei claimed Islamabad had promised nuclear retaliation on Iran’s behalf. While Pakistan maintains strategic ties with Iran and urges Muslim unity against Israel, it has clearly distanced itself from any nuclear involvement, warning the West of Israel’s unchecked nuclear might. #Pakistan #Iran #IsraelIranWar #NuclearStrike #MiddleEastCrisis #KhawajaAsif #MohsenRezaei #PakistanIranTies #IsraelTensions #StrategicDenial #NuclearPolicy #GlobalSecurity #BreakingNews #MuslimUnity #IsraelStrikes #NuclearDeterrence #PakDefence #IsraelConflict #Tehran #Islamabad #MiddleEastNews #Geopolitics #IranPakistan #NuclearThreat #PakRebutsIran #IsraelWar #PakistaniPolitics Also Read Khawaja Asif: Pakistan Made ‘No Such Commitment’ To Iran On Israel Nuclear Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/khawaja-asif-pakistan-made-no-such-commitment-to-iran-on-israel-nuclear-strike-4183025.html?ref=DMDesc Iran: Pakistan Will Launch Nuclear Attack If Israel Strikes With Nukes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-pakistan-will-launch-nuclear-attack-if-israel-strikes-with-nukes-4182787.html?ref=DMDesc Missiles In The Sky, Music On The Roof: Viral Videos Show Beirut Partying Amid Israel-Iran Strikes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missiles-in-the-sky-music-on-the-roof-viral-videos-show-beirut-partying-amid-israel-iran-strikes-4182745.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

NATO Doubles Down! Netherlands Sends Final F-16s to Ukraine — 3 Already Shot Down in War With Russia [Video]

NATO Doubles Down! Netherlands Sends Final F-16s to Ukraine — 3 Already Shot Down in War With Russia

NATO is stepping up its military backing of Ukraine as the Netherlands ships out its final batch of F-16 fighter jets — but the skies aren't safe. Ukraine has already confirmed the loss of three U.S.-made F-16s in combat. Despite mounting risks, Western nations continue their push to modernize Ukraine’s air force as part of the international fighter jet coalition. Denmark, Belgium, Norway, and the Netherlands are now actively arming Kyiv while transitioning to the F-35s themselves. Is NATO’s bet on air superiority paying off — or are these jets flying straight into danger? #F16Ukraine #NetherlandsF16 #UkraineWar #NATOvsRussia #FighterJets #Zelensky #DutchF16 #UkraineRussiaConflict #AirWar #UkraineDefense #MilitaryAid #WesternSupport #Geopolitics #NATOSupport #UkraineAirForce Also Read Pakistan Air force F-16 crashes in Islamabad during parade day rehearsal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-air-force-f-16-crashes-in-islamabad-during-parade-day-rehearsal-3048159.html?ref=DMDesc Abhinandan Varthamanan: This year, that year, the dog fight which took down a Pak F-16 :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/abhinandan-varthamanan-this-year-that-year-the-dog-fight-which-took-down-a-pak-f-16-3040561.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Air Force fighters intercept Kabul bound Spice Jet plane, escort out of its airspace :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-air-force-fighters-intercept-kabul-bound-spice-jet-escort-out-of-airspace-2963140.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.420~GR.124~

“Pakistan Has Lived Enough”: Did CM Yogi’s Final Warning Come a Little After the Ceasefire?

On May 23, 2025, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath issued a fiery warning to Pakistan during a speech in Ayodhya, following the success of Op Sindoor. He invoked Lord Hanuman while stating that India never initiates conflict, but always retaliates with strength. Citing the killing of over 124 terrorists in a decisive Indian military response, Yogi said Pakistan is paying for nurturing terrorism. “Pakistan’s days are numbered,” he declared, holding Islamabad responsible for cross-border terror and vowing continued retaliation. #YogiAdityanath #OpSindoor #IndiaStrikesBack #PakistanTerrorism #NewIndia #Ayodhya #IndianArmy #CMYogi #TerrorAlert #PakistanWarning #ModiGovernment #IndiaPakistan #NationalSecurity #LordHanuman #Retaliation #IndianForces #SouthAsia #BreakingNews #IndiaToday #YogiSpeech #IndoPakRelations #TerrorFreeIndia #PakTerror #IndiaFirst #CrossBorderTerror #UPNews #DeshBhakti #MilitaryStrike #YogiOnTerror #Geopolitics #PakistanCrisis Also Read India Set To Mount Pressure On FATF To Add Pakistan To Grey List :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-set-to-mount-pressure-on-fatf-to-add-pakistan-to-grey-list-4161695.html?ref=DMDesc Give Him Title Of King: Imran Khan Mocks Pakistan Army Chief Munir Over Field Marshal Promotion :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/give-him-title-of-king-imran-khan-mocks-pakistan-army-chief-asim-munir-after-getting-promoted-as-fi-4161515.html?ref=DMDesc IndiGo Flight’s Plea for Pakistani Airspace Denied During Mid-Air Turbulence :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indigo-flight-s-plea-for-pakistani-airspace-denied-during-mid-air-turbulence-4161417.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

India Sends CHILLING Message To Turkey | Expects Push On Pakistan To End Cross-Border Terrorism

In a pointed diplomatic move, India has sent a strong message to Turkey, stating it expects Ankara to urge Pakistan to end cross-border terrorism. The statement reflects India’s frustration with Pakistan’s repeated violations and its expectation that global powers, including Turkey, hold Islamabad accountable. This bold message comes amid ongoing geopolitical shifts, underlining India’s firm foreign policy stance. It also signals New Delhi’s intent to challenge narratives that ignore the impact of terrorism on regional stability and security, particularly when perpetuated from across the border by state-backed actors. #IndiaTurkeyTies #IndiaPakistan #CrossBorderTerrorism #MEAIndia #BreakingNews #IndiaForeignPolicy #ModiGovt #TerrorismAlert #TurkeyNews #GeopoliticsIndia #SouthAsiaNews #TurkeyIndiaRelations #IndiaStrongMessage #PakistanTerrorism #GlobalDiplomacy #IndiaSecurity #TurkishPolitics #ModiMessage #NationalSecurityIndia #IndiaNews Also Read India Slams Turkey For Backing Pak, Urges Action Against Cross-Border Terrorism: 'Relations Are Built On...' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-slams-turkey-for-backing-pak-urges-action-against-cross-border-terrorism-relations-are-buil-4160853.html?ref=DMDesc Bengaluru’s Wholesale Cloth Merchants Halt Imports from Turkey, Azerbaijan Amid National Outrage :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/bengaluru-s-wholesale-cloth-merchants-halt-imports-from-turkey-azerbaijan-amid-national-outrage-4156025.html?ref=DMDesc India Revokes Security Clearance Of Turkish Aviation Firm Celebi Amid Row Over Ankara’s Support To Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-revokes-security-clearance-of-turkish-aviation-firm-celebi-amid-row-over-ankara-s-support-to-p-4154367.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

Five Indian students—three from Kashmir and two from Maharashtra—were injured after an Israeli airstrike near Tehran University of Medical Sciences.

Following the blast, Tehran University relocated 300 students, while the Indian Embassy arranged emergency evacuations. Thousands of panicked Indian students are seeking help, with many urging immediate evacuation.

Bhutto FACT-CHECKED at UN Over 'Muslim Vilification' Lie | Journalist EXPOSES Anti-India Claim

Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto Zardari faced an awkward moment at a UN press briefing after a journalist fact-checked his claim that India was "demonising Muslims" following the Pahalgam terror attack. Bhutto alleged India was politicising the tragedy to vilify Muslims, but the journalist countered with firsthand experience, highlighting Muslim officers leading Indian Army briefings. Bhutto, visibly unsettled, admitted, "You're absolutely right." The episode casts doubt on Pakistan’s narrative as Bhutto leads a diplomatic team to counter India’s global stance post-Operation Sindoor. #BilawalBhutto #UNPressBriefing #IndiaPakistan #OperationSindoor #FactCheck #PahalgamAttack #IndianArmy #PakClaims #IndianMuslims #ColSofiyaQureshi #VyomikaSingh #KashmirIssue #Terrorism #IslamabadDiplomacy #UNNews #GlobalPolitics #PakNarrative #IndiaDefense #IndianMuslimOfficers #PakistanUN #JournalistFactCheck #SouthAsiaNews #BustedAtUN #BhuttoEmbarrassed #KashmirTensions #IndiaPakistanTensions #PPP #BilawalAtUN #BreakingNews #IndiaNarrative #TruthAtUN Also Read Bilawal Bhutto Admits UN Hurdles On Kashmir As Pakistan, India Launch Parallel Diplomacy In US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bilawal-bhutto-admits-un-hurdles-on-kashmir-as-pakistan-india-launch-parallel-diplomacy-in-us-4171933.html?ref=DMDesc Team Shashi Tharoor, Bilawal Bhutto To Jostle In US This Week As India And Pakistan Step Up Diplomatic Push :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/team-shashi-tharoor-bilawal-bhutto-to-jostle-in-us-this-week-as-india-and-pakistan-step-up-diplomat-4170769.html?ref=DMDesc United Nations Under-Secretary-General For Peace Operations Praises India :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/united-nations-under-secretary-general-for-peace-operations-praises-india-4168359.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.125~
