Pakistan has closed all its border crossings with neighbouring Iran for an indefinite period, provincial officials said on Monday, as Israel and Iran trade intense strikes and threaten further attacks.

Will Pakistan support Iran in an attempt to cement its position in the politics of the Islamic World or Ummah? Will Islamabad attack Israel to prove its anti-Zionist stand?

In response, Pakistan swiftly denied any such commitment. Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif took to social media platform X to refute the claim, asserting that no such promise had been made. He emphasized that Pakistan adheres to all international nuclear protocols and frameworks.
