Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has refuted allegations that it sheltered Iranian military aircraft from potential US strikes, following critical comments from US President Donald Trump regarding Iran's peace plan. Trump described the plan as 'a piece of garbage' and indicated that the ceasefire was on 'massive life support.' The accusations arose after reports suggested that Iran relocated military aircraft, including an RC-130 reconnaissance plane, to Pakistan Air Force Base Nur Khan near Rawalpindi. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry clarified that these aircraft landed as part of diplomatic arrangements related to discussions between US and Iranian officials. The ministry emphasized its impartial role in mediation and stated that the claims were misleading. Despite skepticism from some US officials about Pakistan's neutrality, analysts believe that Islamabad's standing as a mediator remains intact as both Tehran and Washington continue to rely on its facilitation. As tensions persist, Trump is set to discuss the Iranian crisis with Chinese President Xi Jinping, highlighting China's influence in the region.
