“After Iran is Pakistan, Netanyahu\u2019s threat,”\u00a0 reads the Urdu-language caption of a video shared on Facebook<\/a> on June 14, 2025.<\/p>\n The clip, shared a day after Israel launched a bombing campaign in Iran that killed top military commanders and scientists linked to its nuclear programme, shows Netanyahu being interviewed.<\/p>\n “I said that the greatest mission that we have is to prevent a militant Islamic regime from meeting up with nuclear weapons or from nuclear weapons meeting up with a militant Islamic regime,” Netanyahu says in the clip.<\/p>\n He then appears to add: “The first is called Iran. The second is called Pakistan. Because if these radical regimes have nuclear weapons, they will not obey the rules that have been obeyed in the last almost seven decades.”<\/p>\n Israel said the aim of its bombing campaign<\/a> in Iran was to keep the Islamic republic from developing an atomic weapon — an ambition Tehran has consistently denied (archived link<\/a>). Iran responded with ballistic missile attacks on Israeli cities.<\/p>\n Pakistan, which is the only Islamic country with nuclear weapons, “strongly condemned<\/a>” the Israeli strikes on its neighbour Iran (archived link<\/a>).<\/p>\n Iran and Israel traded fire for 12 days before a US-proposed ceasefire brought the conflict to an end. Tehran says the Israeli campaign killed 1,060 people, while Israeli officials said the retaliatory Iranian drone and missile barrages killed at least 28 people.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
