Iran was reportedly minutes away from launching missiles at Israel, but Pakistan intervened, according to Al Mayadeen. Pakistan's Defense Minister condemned Israel, calling it 'evil' and criticizing ongoing violence in Lebanon. Meanwhile, the U.S. has lost 24 MQ-9 Reaper drones in the Iran conflict, totaling approximately $720 million, with eight losses since April 1. The situation remains tense as peace talks continue in Islamabad.

—❗️🇵🇰/🇮🇱 Pakistan’s Minister of Defense:

‘Israel is evil and a curse for humanity, while peace talks are underway in Islamabad, genocide is being committed in Lebanon.

Innocent citizens are being killed by Israel, first Gaza, then Iran and now Lebanon, bloodletting continues unabated.

I hope and pray people who created this cancerous state on Palestinian land to get rid of European jews burn in hell.’
