Russian, Chinese, and UAE Military Aircraft Land in Pakistan Amid US-Iran Tensions
Reports indicate that Russian, Chinese, and UAE military cargo aircraft have landed in Pakistan amid rising US-Iran tensions. Aircraft such as the Russian IL-76MD, AN-124, and UAE-operated IL-76 reportedly arrived in Karachi, raising questions about Pakistan's strategic role. Unverified claims suggest China warned Russia of a possible US strike on Iran from Pakistan's Nur Khan Air Base. While the nature of the cargo and Pakistan's involvement remain unclear, these developments have heightened regional security concerns.
