Israel-Iran Conflict: Pakistan has assured Iran it would drop a nuclear bomb on Israel if it launched a nuclear attack on Tehran, claimed Iranian National Security Council member and a senior military official, Mohsen Rezaei. This assertion comes at a time when a fierce conflict has been going on between Iran and Israel for the last three days.
Jerusalem started 'Operation Rising Lion' against Iran, after which the latter launched a ballistic missile attack on Israel. The top Iranian officer, Rezaei, reportedly made claims of Pakistan's nuclear support during an interview with the Iranian state television.
In the interview, the Iranian general said that Pakistan told Iran, “If Israel drops a nuclear bomb in Tehran, we will drop a nuclear bomb on them.”
Pakistan's Step Back
After the Iranian senior official claimed that Pakistan has assured them of support, Islamabad distanced itself, as Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif stated that Islamabad's nuclear capability is for the benefit of its people and defence of the country.
"...Pakistan is signatory to all intl nuclear disciplines, our nuclear capability is for the benefit of our people & defence of our country...” Asif said.

Trump gave a warning to Iran and clarified the US's stance, writing in a post on Truth Social, "The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!"
