Wait… so Iran gets bombed, and somehow, it’s our fault?
Welcome to the same old circus — missiles fly, the world spins, and Pakistan ends up on trial without a single bullet fired.
Let’s set the record straight before the next TikTok explainer blames us for climate change too.
The Airspace That Was Never Used
No, Pakistan didn’t allow U.S. or Israeli jets to fly through its skies.
No, we didn’t give airspace access, sea routes, or launchpads.
And no, there’s not a single radar blip, aviation log, or satellite ping that says otherwise.
Pakistan’s CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) and Air Force radar systems confirmed it. The Flight Information Region was clean. Not even a mosquito snuck in.
But facts don’t trend. Rage does.
Silence Is Now a Crime?
Pakistan didn’t immediately throw a tantrum on camera, and suddenly it became: “Why so quiet, bro?”
Here’s why:
Because the Foreign Office was busy doing real diplomacy. Within hours of the June 21–22 attack, we issued a public condemnation.
Not vague. Not soft.
We called the U.S. strike a violation of international law and a threat to peace.
Our silence wasn’t complicity. It was composure.
For the Last Time: Not Our War
We’ve said it before. We’ll say it again.
Pakistan doesn’t do proxy wars.
Didn’t join the Iraq war. Didn’t jump into Syria. And sure as hell not getting involved between Iran and Israel.
We’re not a battleground. We’re a boundary.
Our military doctrine is clear: no joining someone else’s fight, no matter how loud the crowd gets.
Iran’s Right to Defend Itself — That’s Our Line Too
Pakistan has always stood by Iran’s right to self-defense.
It’s not a Twitter take — it’s Article 51 of the UN Charter.
But defending Iran doesn’t mean sacrificing Pakistan. That’s a line we won’t cross.
Even the National Security Committee echoed this. We won’t let our territory be used. Not by enemies, not by allies.
Israel’s Recklessness? Called Out. Loudly.
Check the record.
At the UN, the OIC, on the international mic — Pakistan has repeatedly condemned Israeli strikes on Iran.
In April and May 2024 alone, we dropped three official statements like mic bombs.
This isn’t about sides. It’s about sovereignty.
You don’t get to carpet bomb a country and then ask who clapped.
Real Work, Not Hashtag Diplomacy
While the online world cried “Where’s Pakistan?” — Islamabad was busy making calls.
Beijing, Brussels, Tehran, D.C. — we were in every inbox and boardroom pushing for restraint.
At the UN, our diplomats went full throttle for a ceasefire track.
Even pitched a multilateral roadmap to the OIC Peace Committee.
You don’t see us shouting doesn’t mean we’re not speaking.
We've Been Burned Before
We know war. We’ve buried its victims.
Our kids have seen drones before they saw playgrounds. Our cities have heard more explosions than concerts.
So no — we don’t need a reminder of what escalation looks like.
That’s why we stay calm.
That’s why we stay out.
And Iran? More Than a Neighbor
We don’t just share a border with Iran.
We share language, culture, food, grief, faith.
We stood with Iran when the world isolated it. And we’ll stand again — not because of pressure, but because it’s the right thing to do.
But don’t mistake empathy for entry.
We support. We don’t serve.
Final Word: We’re Not Playing Your Game
We didn’t fly jets.
We didn’t open skies.
We didn’t play puppet.
What we did do — is stay principled, stay peaceful, and call out the bull.
So next time a conflict breaks out and the world scrambles to find a Muslim country to blame…
Try looking somewhere else.
Pakistan isn’t the fall guy anymore.
If you’re done watching the same script play out every time, hit share.
Because silence is no longer our strategy.
Dignity is.
