Israel’s attacks on Iran’s atomic facilities have increased risks of nuclear and chemical contamination, experts say.

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan has strongly rejected recent media reports claiming it supplied non-nuclear ballistic missiles to Iran amid rising tensions between Iran and Israel. Officials called the claims false,

Israel and Iran launched a new round of attacks as the conflict between the two heavily armed rivals enters its fifth day.

As tensions between Iran and Israel continue to simmer, Pakistan has denied Iran’s bold claim that it had 'assured' a nuclear strike on Israel in the event of an Israeli nuclear attack on Iran

Israel said on Friday it targeted nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders in a "preemptive strike" to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon. Several brokerages had initially expected a cut but revised their forecasts after the Israeli strikes sparked fears of a broader conflict.

Iran has invoked Pakistan and its nuclear arsenal in its ongoing conflict with Israel. A top-ranking Iranian official said India's neighbour will launch a nuclear attack on the Jewish-majority nation if the latter drops a nuclear bomb on Iran.

Pakistan will launch a nuclear attack on Israel if it drops a nuclear bomb on Iran, a top officer of Iran's elite forces has claimed amid rising tensions in the Middle East.

Amid the growing conflict between Iran and Israel, Tehran has claimed that Pakistan will retaliate on its behalf in case of a nuclear attack. However, Pakistan has denied this claim.

In the meantime, Pakistan has made shocking claims. In a video, Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has apparently assured Iran that if Israel launched a nuclear attack on Iran, Pakistan would also launch a nuclear attack on Israel.
