Iran President says Afghanistan, Pakistan blocked attempts to infiltrate Iran during war

According to a report from the Arab Times Kuwait, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on Saturday that Afghanistan and Pakistan played a role in preventing attempted incursions into Iranian territory during a period described as a '40-day war.' The President reportedly emphasized the importance of regional cooperation in maintaining border security during his remarks.

However, the nature of the conflict mentioned remains unclear, as there is no record of a recent 40-day military engagement involving Iran and its eastern neighbors. The claim regarding the prevention of infiltrations lacks corroboration from international news wires or official government statements from Tehran, Islamabad, or Kabul.

Given the ambiguity surrounding the specific conflict referenced and the absence of supporting documentation for such a military event, the details of the President's reported comments remain unverified. NoorNews continues to monitor official Iranian state media for any clarification regarding these remarks or the nature of the security incidents alluded to in the report.

Why this score

The report references a '40-day war' involving Iran, which does not correspond to any recent or historical conflict involving Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The lack of context regarding this specific conflict suggests either a translation error, a misattribution of the President's remarks, or a potential fabrication of the event itself.
