Iran's top general has claimed that Pakistan will launch a nuclear attack on Israel if Tehran is hit with a nuclear weapon. The statement, made during a state TV interview, was quickly dismissed by Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, who said Islamabad had made no such commitment. Iran and Israel have exchanged missile and drone strikes since June 13, after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear sites in "Operation Rising Lion." Iran retaliated with “Operation True Promise 3.” While Pakistan has backed Iran politically, no official nuclear stance has been declared publicly. A wider regional conflict continues to loom as tensions escalate. (PC: News18)
