\u2018Baseless propaganda\u2019
\nSecurity sources reject reports claiming Pakistan provided non-nuclear ballistic missiles to Iran
\n ISLAMABAD
\nSecurity sources have strongly rejected reports claiming Pakistan provided non-nuclear ballistic missiles to Iran, terming them baseless, frivolous, and part of a propaganda campaign led by Indian media and its affiliated foreign outlets.
\nThe development came after a statement started circulating on social media regarding Pakistan\u2019s involvement in the Israel-Iran standoff, which was shared with images of the Iranian and Pakistani flags.
\nDiplomatic sources termed the statement \u2018fake\u2019 and said it falsely attributed a claim to Pakistan about delivering a \u201cnuclear response\u201d against Israel in support of Iran.
\nThey also clarified that the assertion regarding Pakistan\u2019s military joining the war alongside Iran was entirely baseless.
\nIsrael and Iran launched fresh attacks on each other overnight into Sunday, as the US president said the conflict could be easily ended while warning Tehran not to strike any US targets.
\nIsraeli rescue teams combed through the rubble of residential buildings destroyed in strikes, using flashlights and sniffer dogs to look for survivors after at least seven people were killed, including children, authorities said.
\nTehran has called off nuclear talks that Washington had said were the only way to halt Israel\u2019s bombing, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacks by Israel so far were nothing compared with what Iran would see in the coming days.
\nAccording to the Iranian media, the death toll from Israeli attacks on Friday and Saturday was at least 128, including women and children, reporting hundreds more wounded.
\nAt least \u201c128 people were martyred in these military attacks, and around 900 injured individuals were admitted to\u201d hospitals, said Etemad daily, citing the health ministry.
\nThe report said the deaths include at least \u201c40 women\u201d, adding that the \u201cnumber of martyred children is significant\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
