How Pakistan took disinfo drive to a new level with fake alerts on US-Iran talks
Pakistan's military establishment spread disinformation about US-Iran peace talks, claiming a second round of talks would occur, despite Iran's clear intention not to meet with US delegates. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visited Pakistan, but only for meetings with Pakistani officials, not US delegates.
Pakistan's military establishment pushed a disinformation campaign to project itself as a peacemaker between the US and Iran. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) spread false reports, including a claim that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi would meet US delegates in Islamabad. However, Araghchi's visit was part of a broader trip to Oman and Moscow, and Iran made it clear that no meeting with US delegates was planned. Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei stated that Iran's observations would be conveyed to Pakistan, but there would be no direct talks with the US. The disinformation campaign may damage Iranian trust in Pakistan's mediation efforts.
