Kyiv: Amidst the increasing tension between America and Iran, the news of landing of military cargo planes of Russia, China and United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Pakistan has sparked a new discussion. According to media reports, military goods have been delivered to Pakistan through these planes. After this development, questions are being raised whether Pakistan could have any role in a possible American attack on Iran? However, the claims being made regarding the arrival of the planes and their luggage have not been officially confirmed yet.
Which military aircraft landed in Pakistan?
According to media reports, the planes reaching Pakistan include Russia’s IL-76MD and AN-124 cargo aircraft, as well as UAE’s IL-76 aircraft. It is being said that a Russian aircraft reached Karachi from Bishkek, while AN-124 aircraft came to Karachi from Chittagong.
After these planes reach Pakistan, there is speculation about their mission and the goods brought in them. However, it is not yet clear what kind of military equipment or material was present in these aircraft. No detailed official information has come out in this regard even from the concerned countries.
Can America use Pakistan to attack Iran?
Amid discussions of possible military conflict between America and Iran, questions are also being raised on Pakistan’s strategic role. Some media reports have claimed that America can use Pakistan’s land or military bases to attack Iran.
In this connection, the name of Pakistan’s Noor Khan Airbase has also come into discussion. However, the use of any Pakistani airbase has not been confirmed by the US. In such a situation, for now it should be considered only as a possible suspicion and a claim made in media reports.
What warning did China give to Russia regarding the attack on Iran?
Reports also claim that China’s intelligence agency has warned Russia about a possible US attack on Iran. China reportedly feared that US President Donald Trump might take military action against Iran from Pakistan’s Noor Khan airbase.
After this alleged warning, discussions regarding military activities and regional security have intensified in Pakistan. However, no such intelligence warning has been officially confirmed by China.
Why are India and Israel keeping an eye on the developments?
According to media reports, India and Israel are also keeping an eye on the alleged intelligence information given by China to Russia. Both countries are assessing the changing situation in the region and the possible impact of the US-Iran tension.
At present, no official connection has emerged between the presence of foreign military aircraft in Pakistan and a possible US attack on Iran. In the coming days, the situation may become more clear due to the reaction and military activities of the countries concerned on this matter.
