Claim: In recent days, a series of controversial claims circulating on social media have raised serious questions regarding Pakistan-Iran relations. An X (formerly Twitter) account operating from Nepal, NepCorres, alleged that “Pakistan’s JF-17 Viper fighter jets are flying near the Iranian border to gather Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) for American forces.” A similar allegation was propagated by the Indian X account Vikspeaks1, which accused Pakistan of betraying Iran and allegedly “assisting the United States in exchange for dollars.” The allegations quickly went viral, prompting strong public reactions and widespread sharing. The incident sparked concerns over disinformation efforts designed to strain Pakistan-Iran relations.
Fact-Check: Following our team’s investigation, it became clear that the claim is entirely false, unverified and appears to be part of a disinformation campaign aimed at creating distrust between Pakistan and Iran — two neighboring Muslim countries with longstanding diplomatic ties. There is no credible evidence, satellite verification or official confirmation to support the notion that DGPR_PAF has been involved in any intelligence-sharing or operational collaboration with the United States against Iran. The narrative appears to be fueled entirely by unsubstantiated social media posts and speculative commentary, lacking any factual foundation. The Govt of Pakistan has publicly condemned Israel’s recent strikes on Iran and affirmed Iran’s right to self-defense. The Prime Minister CMShehbaz strongly condemned the Israeli strikes, calling them a blatant violation of Iran’s sovereignty, the UN Charter and international law.
Conclusion: These false claims are part of a targeted disinformation campaign to disrupt Pakistan-Iran relations. Therefore, the public is urged to avoid sharing unverified claims and rely only on credible sources to prevent the spread of narratives aimed at harming Pakistan’s relations with its neighbors.
