Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesperson has dismissed as "groundless" a report by an Israeli media outlet, calling it an attempt to "disturb public opinion with false information."
According to The Iran Project, speaking at her weekly press conference, Mumtaz Zahra criticized the report from the Jerusalem Post, describing it as "fake news" and cautioning against spreading false claims during a sensitive time.
The Israeli newspaper, citing Arab sources, claimed that in the event of a military conflict between Iran and Israel, Pakistan would provide medium-range ballistic missiles to Iran.
Zahra firmly rejected these allegations and added that Pakistan has no intention of doing so.
Additionally, Zahra mentioned a recent phone conversation between Pakistani officials and Iran's acting foreign minister following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas' political bureau.

During the meeting, the violation of Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity, along with Israel's aggressions, were strongly condemned and the attending countries expressed their solidarity with Iran and Palestine.
