Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir is having lunch with US President Donald Trump today. But there is no happiness in Pakistan. On the contrary, Pakistan is shocked. People are afraid that after the war that started between Israel and Iran, their number may not come anywhere. In Pakistan, the question is gaining momentum whether Pakistan is now on the target of Western countries and Israel after Iran? This discussion is the reason for this discussion on Pakistani leader, journalist, and social media, an old statement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went viral. In this video, Netanyahu is saying that Iran and Pakistan should not have a nuclear bomb. Although this statement of Israeli PM is old, it has become relevant in the context of the current war. The way migrants in America have strongly opposed Asim Munir, it is also clear that people are afraid that the ruling of the country has given knees in front of America. Pakistan’s intellectuals and journalists are also raising questions because the US who was talking on the nuclear deal with Iran in Oman recently, has stood up with Israel who attacked Iran by changing color in one stroke.
1-Iran-Israel War and Pakistan concern
On June 13, 2025, Israel attacked Iran’s atomic and military bases, such as Natanj, Tabries, and Karman Shah,. IRGC commander Hussain Salute, Army Chief Mohammad Bagheri, and several nuclear scientists were killed in this operation. In response, Iran fired more than a hundred ballistic missiles and drones on Tel Aviv. Pakistan diplomatically expressed support for Iran. Defense Minister Khwaja Asif condemned Israel and appealed to Muslim countries for solidarity. However, in the meantime, after the claim of an Iranian general, the way Pakistan kneels became ridiculous. The Iranian General had said that if Israel attacks Iran a nuclear attack, Pakistan will use its nuclear bomb against Israel on behalf of Iran. Within 24 hours of the Iranian General’s statement, the Pakistani Raksha Minister refuting the statement of the Iranian military officer shows how much fear of Israel is in Pakistan?
Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s old statement went viral in which he had said that Iran and Pakistan should not have nuclear weapons. This viral video in Pakistan has created so much fear that people feel that Pakistan may be the next goal of Western alliance (America, Israel, NATO) after Iran.
Pakistan’s prestigious journalist Hamid Mir warned on June 13, 2025 that if Pakistan remained silent, we could be the next target of Israel. People on social media are saying that attack on Iran is a western conspiracy and Pakistan may be the next victim. This question is relevant because both Iran and Pakistan have been accused of nuclear programs, support to terrorism, and regional instability.
2. Iran and Pakistan, similarities and West attitude
From the perspective of Western countries and Israel, Iran and Pakistan have many similarities. In June 2025, IAEA declared Iran a violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), claiming that it has a 60% enrichment uranium, which could make a 6-9 atomic bomb. This gave Israel the basis of attack.
Pakistan is a declared nuclear power, which has an estimated 150–170 nuclear weapons. The old statement of Netanyahu, in which he expressed concern over Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, shows Western apprehensions that these weapons may be handed over to terrorist groups. Both the US and Israel are afraid that nuclear weapons should not be with irresponsible countries or terrorist groups. However, unlike Iran, Pakistan’s nuclear program is already established, making it more complex to target.
Both countries accused of supporting terrorism
Iran is accused of funding and weapons to Hizbullah, Hamas, Huti rebels, and Iraqi Shia Milsia. These groups were named in terrorist attacks like Berut Bombing (1983), Saudi oil installations (2019), and Rocket attack on Israel (2023).
Pakistan is accused of supporting terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Taliban. The 2008 Mumbai attack and the 2019 Pulwama attack are examples of this. Both America and Israel want regional stability, and consider Iran-Pakistan a threat to it. Obviously, if not today, tomorrow Pakistan will also come on the target of West.
3- Trump is not reliable, why is it necessary for Pakistan to be afraid?
Pakistan’s atomic bomb has been pricking in the eyes of both America and Israel. America’s snatch to capture Pakistan’s atomic bombs and Grab scheme has once made headlines. Similarly, Israel has already been working on a plan to eliminate Pakistan’s atomic bomb. In the eighties, if Indian leaders Morarji Desai or Indira Gandhi were supported, Pakistan would not have a nuclear bomb today.
Asim Munir may feast with Trump, but he cannot be trusted that he will work on the thick opportunity of Pakistan. Be it the world’s biggest rich Elon Musk or Indian PM Narendra Modi, both the US President of both have been speaking their friends. But today their distance from both of them has been made, then this can also happen to Munir of Pakistan when they start pricking Trump’s eyes. Anyway, Trump is currently meeting Pakistan for the benefit of America. Nobody knows when he kills him for his own interest.
Hamid Mir has not warned. Mir says that Pakistan’s silence on Iran can make him the next target. This feeling increases insecurity in Pakistan.
