Islamabad: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pakistan has categorically rejected a report by CBS News regarding the presence of Iranian aircraft in Pakistan, describing it as misleading and sensationalised.

In an official statement, the Foreign Office said speculative narratives about Iranian aircraft at Nur Khan Airbase appeared aimed at undermining ongoing efforts for regional peace and stability.

According to the statement, following the ceasefire and during the initial round of the Islamabad Talks, several aircraft from Iran and the United States arrived in Pakistan to facilitate the movement of diplomatic personnel, security teams, and administrative staff associated with the dialogue process. Some aircraft and support personnel temporarily remained in Pakistan in anticipation of subsequent rounds of engagement.

The statement added that although formal negotiations have not yet resumed, senior-level diplomatic exchanges continue. In this context, visits by the Iranian foreign minister to Islamabad were facilitated through existing logistical and administrative arrangements.

The Foreign Office clarified that the Iranian aircraft currently parked in Pakistan arrived during the ceasefire period and bear no connection to any military contingency or preservation arrangement. It stressed that claims suggesting otherwise are speculative, misleading, and detached from factual context.

Reaffirming Pakistan’s diplomatic stance, the Foreign Office stated that Pakistan has consistently acted as an impartial, constructive, and responsible facilitator in support of dialogue and de-escalation, and remains committed to promoting regional and global peace, stability, and security.
