Tehran, Iran: The Advocate Post: In a startling declaration on Iranian state television, senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) general and Iranian National Security Council member Mohsen Rezaei claimed that Pakistan has vowed to launch a nuclear strike on Israel if Israel uses nuclear weapons against Iran.
Rezaei stated,
“Pakistan has told us that if Israel uses nuclear missiles, we will also attack it with nuclear weapons.”
His remarks come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following recent Israeli military actions against Iran.
Pakistan’s Official Stance: No Direct Nuclear Threat, But Strong Support for Iran
Despite Rezaei’s claim, no Pakistani official has explicitly threatened nuclear retaliation against Israel.However, Pakistan has expressed strong solidarity with Iran.
Pakistani Defense Minister Khwaja Asif took to social media platform *X to condemn Israel’s nuclear capabilities, stating:
“The world should be wary and apprehensive about Israel’s nuclear prowess—a country not bound by any international nuclear discipline, not a signatory to the NPT or any other binding arrangement.”
He emphasized that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is purely defensive, adding:
“We do not pursue hegemonic policies against our neighbors, unlike Israel, whose actions threaten regional stability. The Western world must worry about the conflicts being generated by Israel; it will engulf the whole region and beyond.”
Call for Muslim Unity Against Israel
In a speech before Pakistan’s National Assembly on June 14, Asif urged Muslim nations to unite against Israel, warning:
“Israel has targeted Iran, Yemen, and Palestine. If Muslim nations don’t unite now, each will face the same fate.”
He called on the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to convene and formulate a joint strategy, urging Muslim countries with diplomatic ties to Israel to sever them immediately.
Iran’s Hidden Capabilities?
Rezaei also hinted that Iran possesses undisclosed military tactics and capabilities, suggesting that the country has not yet revealed its full strength.
Global Concerns Over Escalation
The remarks have raised fears of a broader regional conflict, with Pakistan—a nuclear-armed state—potentially being drawn into a direct confrontation with Israel. Analysts warn that such a scenario could have catastrophic global consequences.
Key Takeaways:
– Iranian official claims Pakistan will nuke Israel if Israel attacks Iran with nuclear weapons.
