[00:00:00]Is it enough?

[00:00:47]The people are doing the job.

[00:00:52]Has Pakistan double crossed America while trying to mediate between Washington and Thran? Has US President Donald Trump been betrayed by the very Pakistani establishment he trusted during the crisis with Iran? These questions are being asked because claims in an American media report are triggering serious concern about Islamabad's role in the Iran US conflict. According to a report by CBS News, while Pakistan publicly tried to position itself as a diplomatic conduit between Thran and Washington, it allowed Iranian aircraft reportedly to park in Pakistani air bases, potentially shielding them from possible American air strikes. US officials familiar with the matter told CBS News that days after Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran in April. The Han moved several aircraft to the Pakistan Air Force base in Nur Khan near Rahul Pindi. One of Pakistan's most strategic military installations. Among the aircraft was reportedly an Iranian RC130 reconnaissance plane, a surveillance and intelligence gathering variant of the Loheed C1 C130 Hercules. The Loheed C130 Hercules. The movements according to the report appear to be part of a broader Iranian effort to protect key aviation and military assets during the conflict.

[00:02:26]The report further saying that Iran also sent civilian aircraft into neighboring Afghanistan. An Afghan civil aviation official told CBS News that an aircraft belonging to Iran carrier Mahan Airlines landed in Kabul reportedly shortly before the war started and was later shifted to Herat near the Iranian border for safety reasons.

[00:02:55]During Pakistan tensions with the Taliban le government to allegedly protect it from possible bombing of Kabul airport by Pakistani jets. Taliban spokesperson to CBS denied that Iranian aircraft were being sheltered in Afghanistan calling the claims false.

[00:03:12]Pakistan also strongly denied the allegations. Islamapad dismissed the report as misleading, sensationalized, insisting that the Iranian aircraft currently parked in Pakistan have no military role. They say Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement said that aircraft from both Iran and the United States arrived during diplomatic engagement hosted in Islamabad to transport diplomats, security personnel and administrative staff linked to the talks process. Officials claimed some aircraft remained temporarily in anticipation of further negotiations and stressed that Pakistan was only providing logistical support as part of its role as a facilitator of dialogue.

[00:03:59]So that's what they are saying. The Pakistan Foreign Ministry also said in its statement, I'm quoting, "The Iranian aircraft currently parked in Pakistan arrived during the ceasefire period and bear no linkage whatsoever to any military contingency or preservation arrangement," quote unquote.

[00:04:20]The entire episode also sparked reactions in Washington. Of course, US Senator Lindsey Graham said, "If the reporting is accurate, the United States would need to completely reassess Pakistan's role as a mediator between Iran and America."

[00:04:35]Also saying that he would not be shocked if the allegations turned out to be true.

[00:04:42]Now, these allegations could also put Trump in a pec peculiar position given his repeated praise for Pakistan Army Chief Asse Munir over the past year.

[00:04:52]Remember, Trump has publicly hailed Munir on multiple occasions, not just one. Even calling him his favorite field marshal. But these reports are now raising a serious question. Did Trump's trusted man in Islamabad double cross him? To stay up to speed with the latest news, download the Weon app and subscribe to our YouTube channel.
