This followed India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, responding to the Phalgam attack that killed 26 people.

“If India Stops,We’ll Stop” Pakistan SCARED of India’s Response,Denies Nuclear Meeting Amid Tensions

Amid growing military strikes between Pakistan and India, confusion surrounds Pakistan's response. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif denies reports of an emergency nuclear meeting, contradicting claims from Pakistan's military that Prime Minister Imran Khan had called for one. As the situation escalates, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister hints at possible de-escalation, stating they may halt actions if India does the same. Meanwhile, international powers, including the U.S. and China, are pushing for both nations to open direct communication to avoid a potential disaster. As tensions rise, both sides face mounting pressure. #Pakistan #India #NuclearTensions #MilitaryStrikes #DeEscalation #KhawajaAsif #ImranKhan #PakistanMilitary #IndiaMilitary #GlobalCrisis #Diplomacy #MarcoRubio #USStateDepartment #InternationalRelations #CrisisManagement #Tensions #WorldPolitics #DefenseNews #GlobalSecurity #NuclearThreat #PakistanIndiaRelations #SouthAsia #InternationalDiplomacy #China #USA #Jaishankar #NuclearMeeting #Terrorism #Escalation #PakistanTensions #IndiaPressConference #UNSecurityCouncil Also Read India Eliminates 5 High Profile JeM, LET Terrorists Inside Pakistan & PoK Under Operation Sindoor :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-eliminates-5-high-profile-jem-let-terrorists-inside-pakistan-pok-under-operation-sindoor-4149417.html?ref=DMDesc Why India Didn't Vote 'No' On Pakistan's IMF Loan - Explained :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/why-india-didnt-vote-no-on-pakistans-imf-loan-explained-4149113.html?ref=DMDesc India Raises Objection To IMF Bailout For Pakistan, Cites Terror Funding Concerns, Poor Track Record :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-raises-objection-to-imf-bailout-for-pakistan-cites-terror-funding-concerns-poor-track-record-4148939.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

“NO EVIDENCE, JUST POSTS” : PAK Defence Minister MOCKED After No Proof On Jet Kill CNN Interview [Video]

“NO EVIDENCE, JUST POSTS” : PAK Defence Minister MOCKED After No Proof On Jet Kill CNN Interview

Pakistan’s defense minister Khawaja Asif stunned viewers during a CNN interview by admitting that Islamabad’s claim of shooting down five Indian jets—including Rafales—was based entirely on Indian social media posts. He provided no military confirmation, stating, “the debris is on their side.” India had earlier launched a retaliatory airstrike on terror camps across Pakistan and PoK. Fact-checkers exposed Pakistan’s viral jet debris photos as old and unrelated. Asif warned of potential full-scale war, while indirectly acknowledging Indian strike casualties. #Pakistan #India #AirStrikes #Rafale #KhawajaAsif #CNNInterview #JetDownClaim #FakeNews #PahalgamAttack #OperationSindoor #IndianAirForce #PakistanAirForce #DefenseNews #IndiaVsPakistan #SocialMediaIntel #MilitaryIntel #WarFooting #PoKStrikes #JetDebrisHoax #MIG21Crash #FactCheck #PIBFactCheck #PakistanPropaganda #TerrorBaseStrikes #SouthAsiaConflict #BilateralTensions #PakMinisterSlip #BreakingNews #IndiaStrikesBack #AsifCNN Also Read Proof From Above: Satellite Pics Show Extent of Terror Site Damage in Operation Sindoor - Before & After Pics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/proof-from-above-satellite-pics-show-extent-of-terror-site-damage-in-operation-sindoor-see-before-4147141.html?ref=DMDesc 'Pakistan Shot Down 5 Indian Jets' Claims Defence Minister Asif In CNN Interview, Becomes Butt Of A Joke :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-shot-down-5-indian-jets-claims-defence-minister-asif-on-cnn-interview-becomes-butt-of-a-4146991.html?ref=DMDesc Post-Strike Panic or Calculated Crime?

Pahalgam Attack: Pakistan Demands Russia & China To Lead Pahalgam Attack Probe Amid Global Outcry

Following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, Pakistan has urged Russia and China to assist in an international probe. Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif suggested that global powers verify India’s claims about Pakistan’s involvement. Meanwhile, criticism mounts over contradictory Pakistani statements, as officials both justify and deny the attack. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed the "harshest response" to the perpetrators. Analysts argue Pakistan’s stance appears self-discrediting, fueling international skepticism about its intentions regarding the Pahalgam massacre. #PahalgamAttack #PakistanRussiaChina #PahalgamProbe #TerrorAttack #KashmirCrisis #ModiResponse #KhawajaAsif #PahalgamTerror #RussiaChinaPakistan #InternationalInvestigation #TerrorismInKashmir #IndiaPakistanTensions #TouristAttackKashmir #ResistanceFront #LashkarETaiba #GlobalTerrorism #ModiSpeech #PakistaniDenial #FreedomFightersDebate #TerrorismInvestigation Also Read NIA Probe Finds Terrorists Filmed Pahalgam Attack Using Body Cameras :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/nia-probe-finds-terrorists-filmed-pahalgam-attack-using-body-cameras-4137055.html?ref=DMDesc Security Forces Narrow In On Pahalgam Terrorists 'Four Times' In South Kashmir :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/security-forces-narrow-in-on-pahalgam-terrorists-four-times-in-south-kashmir-4137021.html?ref=DMDesc Pahalgam Attack: Scared Pakistan Seeks China, Russia's Intervention For Investigation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pahalgam-attack-scared-pakistan-seeks-china-russias-intervention-for-investigation-4136899.html?ref=DMDesc

No PEACE TALKS on June 2? Russia dismisses Ukraine’s ‘UNCONSTRUCTIVE’ Demand [Video]

No PEACE TALKS on June 2? Russia dismisses Ukraine’s ‘UNCONSTRUCTIVE’ Demand

Russia’s proposed second round of Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul on June 2 appears doomed before it begins. Ukraine has raised complaints, demanding Moscow deliver its ceasefire draft immediately, while Russia decries Kyiv’s conditions as "unconstructive." Ukraine insists on a full ceasefire as a starting point, accusing Russia of stalling. The first talks failed after Putin skipped the meeting, and now with no changes in Russia’s delegation, hopes for diplomatic progress remain bleak amid rising tension and mistrust. #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #IstanbulSummit #CeasefireStalemate #Lavrov #Zelensky #Putin #Medinsky #UkraineDemands #RussiaRefuses #DiplomaticDeadlock #KyivVsMoscow #WarInUkraine #Geopolitics #UkrainePeacePlan #RussiaPeaceDraft #June2Talks #NoBreakthrough #UkraineConflict #CeasefireNow #GlobalDiplomacy #PutinSnub #WesternSanctions #PeaceEffortsFail #UkraineRussiaTensions #UnconditionalCeasefire #NegotiationCrisis #UkraineRussiaNews #TurkeyMediation #RussiaUkraineDialogue #FailedDiplomacy Also Read Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Says Ready To Talk With India On All Disputes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-says-ready-to-talk-with-india-on-all-disputes-4164725.html?ref=DMDesc West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.336~

Trump Officials Claim Trade Deal Ended India-Pak Conflict, India Denies Trade Deal Theory

A shocking U.S. court submission reveals the Trump administration claimed to broker a 2025 ceasefire between India and Pakistan using trade deals. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated access to U.S. markets helped avert full-scale war during Operation Sindoor. But India has flatly denied any such arrangement, insisting the ceasefire resulted from military pressure and diplomatic efforts. Pakistan’s PM credited Trump but omitted trade. With conflicting accounts and growing questions, the world waits: did trade really stop a war, or is there a deeper game afoot? #TrumpCeasefireClaim #IndiaPakistan #OperationSindoor #USCourt #TradeDealCeasefire #HowardLutnick #TrumpAdministration #USIndiaRelations #USPakistanRelations #SouthAsiaTensions #Geopolitics #CeasefireDeal #DiplomaticDrama #JaishankarStatement #WhiteHouseClaims #USCourtSubmission #TruthOrCoverup #IndiaDeniesDeal #TrumpVsTruth #SindoorOperation Also Read Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Bats For Peace With India Again :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-bats-for-peace-with-india-again-4167057.html?ref=DMDesc Weeks After Operation Sindoor, India Set To Conduct Mock Drills Again :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/weeks-after-operation-sindoor-india-set-to-conduct-mock-drills-again-4165989.html?ref=DMDesc Ashoka University Professor Granted Extended Interim Bail By SC Amid SIT Probe :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/ashoka-university-professor-released-on-sc-bail-amid-operation-sindoor-social-media-row-4165957.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~
