CBS report is childish and absurd. It claims that while Pakistan positioned itself as a diplomatic conduit between Tehran and Washington, it quietly allowed Iranian military aircraft to park on its airfields, “potentially shielding them from American airstrikes.” The allegation itself collapses under the weight of common sense.

What a bizarre and laughable claim it is that Iran sent its fighter jets to Pakistan to save them from destruction, and that they remained parked at Nur Khan Airbase. These are fighter aircraft, not pigeons that respectable people could tuck into their pockets and move around unnoticed.

In this modern age, is it even remotely possible for one country to move its fighter jets into another country without the world noticing, especially at a time when the United States was monitoring every corner of Iran? Could something of this magnitude really have happened without Washington knowing about it?

It is equally absurd to suggest that Iranian aircraft were secretly stationed at Nur Khan Airbase. This is not some distant and hidden military installation. It lies only a few kilometers from the capital city, and it is practically impossible for foreign military aircraft to be parked there without anyone finding out.

I visited the CBS website and read the relevant report. It turned out that the story had been jointly filed by three journalists, two Americans and one individual from Afghanistan. At that point, things began to reveal and expose. 

If Pakistan had actually protected Iranian fighter jets in this manner, could the American administration truly have remained unaware of it while American and Afghan journalists somehow uncovered the story first? There is a limit even to absurdity. According to this logic, journalists broke the news while the President of the United States remained completely unaware and continued praising Pakistan.

The first fact is that before the ceasefire, no Iranian aircraft came to Pakistan. Some aircraft did arrive later, and everyone knows they did. They came only after negotiations had begun.

The second fact is that during the negotiation process, not only Iranian aircraft arrived, but American aircraft did as well. Personnel came, security teams arrived, and their aircraft were also parked at Nur Khan Airbase. Nothing was secretive. Both countries knew exactly what was happening. Every arrangement was clear and transparent.
