Pakistan rejects reports claiming presence of Iranian aircraft at Nur Khan Air Base
ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office has strongly rejected and termed misleading media reports regarding the alleged presence of Iranian aircraft at Nur Khan Air Base.
In a statement posted on social media, the Foreign Office dismissed a report by CBS News, calling it “misleading and sensationalist.”
The statement said such speculative narratives are aimed at undermining ongoing efforts for regional stability and peace.
The Foreign Office clarified that after a ceasefire and during the initial phase of talks in Islamabad, multiple aircraft from Iran and the United States had arrived in Pakistan to facilitate the movement of diplomatic staff, security teams, and negotiating personnel.
It added that some aircraft and supporting staff remained in Pakistan in anticipation of the next round of discussions.
Although formal negotiations have not yet resumed, high-level diplomatic contacts continue. In this context, visits by Iranian Foreign Minister to Islamabad were made possible through existing administrative and logistical arrangements.
The statement further clarified that the Iranian aircraft present in Pakistan arrived during the ceasefire period and had no connection with any military emergency or security deployment.
