June 17, 2025:
In a major revelation that could escalate tensions in the Middle East, Iranian National Security Council member Mohsen Rezaei has claimed that Pakistan has extended indirect nuclear support to Iran amid its ongoing conflict with Israel.
During a televised interview aired earlier today on Iranian state media, Rezaei stated:
“Pakistan told Iran that if Israel drops a nuclear bomb on Tehran, we will drop a nuclear bomb on them.”
This comment, if confirmed officially, would mark an unprecedented development in the region’s nuclear dynamics. While Pakistan has not released any official statement confirming or denying the claim, the quote has already triggered widespread international concern over the possibility of nuclear escalation.
Mohsen Rezaei, a senior figure in Iran’s strategic and military circles, is known for his hardline positions. His statement comes amid rising fears of a broader regional war following Israel’s recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and military targets as part of Operation Rising Lion.
Diplomatic observers say that if true, this verbal assurance from Pakistan may be a signal of shifting alliances, and could complicate any future international mediation efforts.
Israel has also not responded directly to the claim but has reiterated that it retains the right to defend itself “by any means necessary.”
The international community is expected to closely monitor developments, especially any official reaction from Islamabad, Tel Aviv, or Western powers.
