Tuesday, 03 March 2026 | Web Desk

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has given a startling statement regarding the US-Israeli military strikes on Iran, saying that the true objective of the aggression is to extend Israeli influence all the way to Pakistani borders.

Commenting on the escalating conflict in the Middle East, he described Zionism as a threat to humanity and claimed that every calamity to befall the Muslim world has been driven by a Zionist agenda.

‘War Was Imposed’

“Despite Iran’s willingness for an agreement, war has been imposed upon it,” the minister stated. He suggested that the ultimate goal is to bring Israeli power and influence into the region.

The Defence Minister expressed concerns that this could be part of a joint agenda involving Afghanistan, India, and Israel—a triangular axis aimed at destabilizing the region and expanding Tel Aviv’s strategic footprint.
