Pakistan allegedly allowed Iranian military aircraft to shelter on its bases to avoid U.S. airstrikes, even as it mediated a fragile ceasefire that President Trump now calls “totally unacceptable.”
While acting as a diplomatic bridge between Tehran and Washington, Pakistan quietly allowed Iranian military aircraft to park on its airfields, potentially shielding them from American strikes, according to CBS News. U.S. officials report that multiple planes, including an RC-130 reconnaissance variant, were moved to Nur Khan Air Base following an April ceasefire.
A senior Pakistani official rejected the claims, telling CBS News, “Nur Khan base is right in the heart of [the] city… a large fleet of aircrafts parked there can’t be hidden from [the] public eye.” Meanwhile, the peace process is faltering; President Trump rejected Iran’s latest demands for reparations and sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz as “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid also denied reports of Iranian planes in Afghanistan, stating, “No, that’s not true and Iran doesn’t need to do that.”
