OIC’s silence on Iran: a grave omission
The ongoing Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities and military infrastructure have sparked global debate and concern—yet from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), there has been nothing but deafening silence.

Israel’s Narrative War: Laying the Groundwork to Attack Pakistan’s Nuclear Assets
By Qamar Bashir In the fog of war, truth is often the first casualty. As the Israel-Iran conflict intensifies, a dangerously false narrative is being pushed by Israeli-linked media outlets—one that falsely accuses Pakistan of issuing nuclear threats and aligning militarily with Iran. It alleges that Pakistan warned the United States and France that it would retaliate if Iran is attacked with nuclear weapons. These claims have no basis in reality—no official statements, no credible sources, no historical precedent.
