Amid the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, Pakistan, which faced defeat by India during Operation Sindoor, has made its entry and again reiterated its old threat of nuclear weapons. Iran's National Security Council member and IRGC General Mohsen Rezaei recently stated that Islamabad had assured Iran that it would launch nuclear retaliation against Israel if the Middle Eastern country were attacked by a nuclear weapon.

Iran missile exchange, a startling claim by a senior Iranian general has put Pakistan in an uncomfortable spotlight. While Tehran insists that Islamabad has pledged nuclear retaliation against Israel,

Pakistan has recalled some of its diplomats, non-essential staff, and their families from Tehran. The decision came due to the growing conflict between Iran and Israel. A Foreign Ministry official said this move was made for safety.
