We hope Pakistan will not be used by the USA : Iran

(The Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense.)

New Delhi – “We hope that Pakistan will not be used as a puppet by the USA. Pakistan will not go down that path. Pakistan will stand with Iran against Israeli aggression,” stated Mohammad Javad Hosseini, Deputy Ambassador of Iran to India. This remark was made following a meeting between Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir and U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington.

During that meeting, Trump had stated, “If needed, Pakistan could be of use to the USA. Pakistan is not against Israel. Munir understands Iran well and agrees with the stance of the USA.” In response to this, Hosseini expressed Iran’s concern that the USA might use Pakistan to further its own interests.

When asked whether the USA could receive any military assistance from Pakistan, Hosseini responded, “Pakistan will stand by Iran. It will not provide military assistance to the USA against Iran.” (Should Iran be disillusioned, it won’t be surprising! – Editor)

India should condemn Israel’s aggression

Hosseini further said, “Countries like India are considered the voice of the Global South and are seen as proponents of peace. In the ongoing Iran-Israel war, India must play an active role. It should coordinate with both countries and put pressure on Israel. First and foremost, India should issue a strong condemnation of Israel’s aggression.”

Iran opens its airspace for the evacuation of Indian citizens

As an exception, Iran has opened its airspace to help evacuate Indian nationals stranded in various parts of Iran. Under India’s ‘Operation Sindhu,’ nearly 1,000 Indian students stranded in Iran are expected to return by the end of this week. The first flight under this operation recently landed in Delhi with 110 students, of whom 90 were from Jammu and Kashmir. More students remain in Iran, and efforts are ongoing to bring them back, said Hosseini.

Editorial Perspective

Given Pakistan’s track record, such hope from Iran seems rather naive. At the same time, even the USA is aware that Pakistan could betray it — something former Pentagon official Michael Rubin has already clarified. This only proves that Pakistan cannot truly be loyal to anyone !
