In a surprising development, Pakistan’s Defense Minister declared today that his country stands with Iran “by all means,” signaling a potential shift that could escalate regional tensions. At the same time, Iranian media reported the arrival of a Pakistani missile shipment inside Iran.
The reports mention a temporary disruption in air traffic and the detection of a military transport aircraft in Iranian airspace—further fueling the narrative of undisclosed military support.
Major General Mohammad al-Samadi stated this may be the first in a series of Pakistani military aid deliveries, with more shipments expected soon. There are growing concerns that future deliveries could include air defense systems from China, Russia, or even North Korea, a move that may alter the military balance in the region.
