Iran’s embassy in Pakistan firmly denied on Friday the circulating social media allegations that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Pakistan of betrayal regarding recent regional developments. The viral posts suggested Tehran criticized Islamabad for permitting oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz and questioned Pakistan’s stance amid escalating tensions in the area.
In an official statement shared via its social media account, the embassy described these reports as misleading and warned against the spread of harmful misinformation. It emphasized that such narratives do not represent the truth and urged the public to consult official and trustworthy sources for accurate information.
This clarification arrives amid a surge of misinformation on social media platforms, particularly in the context of heightened geopolitical strains involving Iran and the United States. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s foreign office has yet to issue any response to the viral accusations.
