Recently, a shocking statement came out of Iran. An Iranian top official claimed that Pakistan would drop a nuclear bomb on Israel — but only if Israel attacks Iran with nuclear weapons first. This bold declaration was made publicly and has sent shockwaves through diplomatic and media circles.
This statement was not from an ordinary commentator. Mohsen Riazi, a member of Iran’s National Security Council, made the claim in a video message in Persian:
The statement triggered a wave of excitement among social media users in Turkey, Syria, and Pakistan, many of whom began celebrating what they thought was an official alliance. Some users even called this bomb “the Islamic world's bomb.”
But the reality was far from it. As the statement gained traction, Pakistan’s government rushed to clarify. Pakistan's foreign office denied the claims and distanced itself completely from Iran’s nuclear narrative.
Pakistan’s Clarification
Within hours, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry issued an official statement denying any intention to support Iran in a nuclear conflict. A government spokesperson said:
Pakistan also conveyed this message to Israel and the U.S. through diplomatic backchannels, stating clearly that:
- There is no defense pact between Pakistan and Iran
- No nuclear or missile support is being provided to Iran
- Pakistan will not engage in any nuclear conflict on Iran's behalf
The Bigger Picture: Psychological Warfare
Experts believe this could be part of Iran’s psychological warfare — trying to pressure Israel by implying wider Islamic-world retaliation.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were reported to have discussed targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader directly. This revelation shocked the Iranian leadership, intensifying their aggressive posture.
According to leaked US official reports, Israel had already planned to target Tehran, Isfahan, Natanz, and other nuclear facilities across Iran. In response, Iran began targeting Israeli cities. The conflict is dangerously escalating.
Israel’s Narrative and Global Support
Israel has also been actively engaged in information warfare. They released a video showing how they had eliminated Iranian nuclear scientists. Maps of Iran’s nuclear installations, air defense systems, and military command centers were publicly shared by Israeli media.
Israel claims that Iran was close to building 15 nuclear bombs and only Israeli pre-emptive actions stopped them.
What Comes Next?
Russia and China are the only two countries that might come to Iran's aid in case of a full-blown war. The U.S. has already activated its Navy and sent Air Force units toward Israel to support its ally.
The situation remains highly volatile. Social media is flooded with misinformation, and governments are scrambling to control the narrative. Whether or not Iran's statement was strategic bluffing or a serious claim, one thing is clear: the Middle East is on the edge of a catastrophic nuclear conflict.
