The Iranian embassy in Pakistan has dismissed reports claiming that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi decried “clear betrayal” by Islamabad.

In a post on X, the embassy shared a screenshot of the reports circulating on social media and also shared links to the posts — which now seem to have been deleted — making the claim, connecting the alleged statement with the reported passage of Pakistani-flagged oil vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

“The news shared by these accounts is misleading and does not reflect reality. Some accounts appear to be spreading harmful narratives. Please rely on official, verified, and credible news sources for accurate information,” the embassy’s post said.
