Pakistan?s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar rejected India?s account of the May 2025 military confrontation, accusing New Delhi of spreading misinformation and AI-generated content. Speaking on December 27, he stated that Pakistan neither initiated nor sought a ceasefire, and documented India?s strike on Nur Khan Air Base as a serious miscalculation met with a restrained but effective Pakistani response.

Key assertions:

  • Dar claims Pakistan intercepted 79 of 80 Indian drones
  • Shot down four Indian Rafale jets
  • Destroyed two S-400 systems
  • He said these claims were verified by international media using heat-signature analysis

He dismissed Indian claims of downed Pakistani F-16s as disproven and called for independent verification of wreckage.

Pakistan maintains the ceasefire was mutually agreed via military hotlines, warned against Indian 'war hysteria,' and urged dialogue while reaffirming readiness to defend sovereignty.
