ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has rejected a social media claim that the United States Navy is conducting operations against Iran from Pakistani territory with Islamabad’s permission, describing the allegation as baseless and fabricated propaganda.
In this regard, as per the Ministry, the ministry said the claim originated from an account based in North America. It dismissed the assertion that Pakistan had authorised the use of its territory for such operations.
The ministry’s response focused on a specific allegation circulating online: that American naval forces were operating against Iran from Pakistani soil with the approval of Pakistani authorities.
Its clarification challenged both elements of the claim, including the alleged use of Pakistani territory and the suggestion that Islamabad had granted permission.
The supplied statement did not identify the account by name or provide further information about the material it had published.
The ministry said further circulation of the allegation formed part of a broader agenda to create confusion, misunderstandings and discord.
It maintained that posts carrying such claims did not deserve the attention of serious observers. The response urged that the allegation be recognised and handled as propaganda, rather than given credibility through continued repetition.
The statement’s central message was a rejection of the online narrative and a warning about the consequences of amplifying it. It did not announce any additional measures concerning the account responsible for the claim.
Clarification Addresses Pakistani Permission
The reference to Pakistani permission was central to the allegation because it suggested official approval for military action against a neighbouring country.
The ministry rejected that suggestion alongside the wider claim about American naval operations. However, the supplied clarification did not outline any separate military activity, operational arrangements or diplomatic exchanges involving Pakistan, Iran or the United States.
Its contents therefore concern the denial of this particular allegation.
