A detailed fact-check of social-media posts alleging that Pakistan sides with Bahrain against Iran. The posts claim Pakistan supported UN resolutions—one allegedly Bahrain's resolution and another from Russia condemning Israeli strikes on Iran and urging restraint. These narratives are baseless. In reality, Pakistan has stated that Iran, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar are all important partners and that it seeks stability, not escalation. Pakistan has consistently advocated peace and opposed war in the region. During a recent visit to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan's leadership (the claim refers to as a Field Marshal) played a constructive role in encouraging both Saudi Arabia and Iran to avoid hostile actions, contributing to preventing further escalation. Pakistan will continue to work for peace and strengthen unity and brotherhood within the Muslim world.
