India condemned the attack, summoned America’s CDA

At the same time, America’s suicide attacks have been condemned by India. The Foreign Ministry has termed this as very worrying. The ministry has demanded to stop these attacks immediately. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on Thursday that in recent times there have been several incidents involving Indian sailors in West Asia. We attach great importance to the well-being and safety of our boating community. We do not need to emphasize this point again.

Registering a strong protest, India also issued a demarche against America on June 10. Also the CDA of US was summoned.

Amidst the ongoing war in the Middle East, the American Army conducted a rescue operation and saved its Air Force officer safely after hiding for 48 hours. Iran says that during the rescue operation to save the American pilot, 5 people were killed and many enemy aircraft were destroyed. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said several aircraft were destroyed during a US operation to locate a trapped soldier.

Ibrahim Zolfagri, spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters operated under the IRGC, said that the US mission to rescue the pilot south of Isfahan failed. Speaking to Iranian state broadcaster IRIB, he said that two enemy Black Hawk helicopters and a C-130 support aircraft were shot down, killing five people. According to Al Jazeera’s report, hundreds of special operations teams were involved in the rescue operation, who entered the interior of Iran to rescue the pilot.

US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that an American pilot who was missing for two days after Iran shot down an F-15E fighter jet has been rescued. He said that the American soldier rescued in Iran is injured, but he will be absolutely fine. Iran also tried its best to find the American pilot and had announced a reward of $60,000 for any information that would help in his capture.

The US Army carried out a military operation by evacuating its pilot safely. Trump said, ‘We found him. My fellow Americans, over the past few hours our military carried out one of the most daring search and rescue operations in American history. This was for one of our brilliant crew member officers, who is also a highly respected Colonel. I am very happy to tell you that he is safe now.

Amid the ongoing war in the Middle East, an American fighter jet has fallen in Iran, after which the search for the missing pilot has been intensified. According to AP report, Pentagon has confirmed this. Let us tell you that the US Army has started searching for the pilot since Saturday (April 4, 2026), but nothing has been found yet. According to Iran, this aircraft was F-15E Strike Eagle, which was targeted on Friday. Two planes were attacked, a crew member of one of which was saved, but the other pilot has not been found yet. Iran has also announced a reward for anyone providing information about this pilot.

This is the first time that an American plane has fallen on Iranian soil during this war. The war has now reached its sixth week and this incident may further escalate the war. Iran has also claimed that it attacked two American Black Hawk helicopters a day earlier, although this could not be independently confirmed. This war started on February 28 with the attacks of America and Israel and till now thousands of people have lost their lives. This war has affected the entire world. Oil prices have increased, sea routes have been affected and volatility in the markets has increased.

Donald Trump warned Iran

US President Donald Trump has again warned Iran. He said that if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz, there will be serious consequences within 48 hours. On the other hand, the office of American tech company Oracle in Dubai has also been damaged. It was reported that a part of the building was damaged after a drone attack, although no one was reported injured. An airstrike also took place near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear center, in which a security guard was killed and a building was damaged. After this attack, 198 employees working there have been evacuated.

number of people killed in the war

Efforts for dialogue are also continuing amid the war. Countries like Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt are trying to organize talks between America and Iran. Iran has also said that it is not backing down from talks. The search for the missing American pilot is going on in the southwestern mountainous region of Iran. America has not given much information on this matter, but it is believed that the situation is still not clear. Meanwhile, Iran has also hinted about another important sea route, Bab-al-Mandeb, which may affect the supply of oil and goods around the world. So far, more than 1900 people have died in this war in Iran. At the same time, 19 people have lost their lives in Israel and 13 American soldiers have been killed. More than 1400 people have died and more than 1 million people have been rendered homeless in Lebanon.

Amidst the ongoing war in the Middle East, Pakistan is trying to show itself as a country that facilitates talks between America and Iran. During this period, Pakistan has intensified diplomatic efforts behind the scenes. According to the report, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir spoke directly to Donald Trump on phone. The next day, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif talked to Iranian President Masoud Pejeshkian and even said that if needed, Islamabad could be made a venue for talks.

After this, Pakistan sent the 15-point peace proposal given by America to Iran, but Tehran rejected it. Along with Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt are also trying to organize talks between America and Iran in this matter. As the war in the Middle East has escalated and the energy crisis in the world has deepened, the efforts of these countries have also intensified.

alarm bell for pakistan

However, it is not easy for Pakistan to make peace. If Iran persists in its stance and does not back down, the situation may worsen. In such a situation, the risk of Pakistan getting directly drawn into this war also increases, especially because it has a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia. If Pakistan succeeds in bringing America and Iran together to the negotiating table in this crisis, then its international image can be greatly strengthened. This had happened earlier in 1972, when Pakistan played an important role in Richard Nixon’s visit to China.

What will be the benefit to Pakistan?

Pakistan can also directly benefit from the end of this war. Its population consists largely of Shia Muslims and there were protests in the country after the attacks at the beginning of the war. Apart from this, a long war can become a threat to Pakistan, because it can affect its borders and internal situation. Pakistan’s border with Iran is in Balochistan, where there has been tension before. Although relations have improved somewhat now, this area may become sensitive again if the war escalates.

What could be Pakistan’s role in Iran war?

One special thing about Pakistan is that it is a country which has contacts with both America and Iran. This is why he is being seen as a mediator, but the biggest challenge is his defense agreement with Saudi Arabia. If Iran attacks Saudi Arabia, Pakistan may also be pressured to help under this agreement. In such a situation, Pakistan’s situation may become more difficult. Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has also said that he is constantly trying to find a solution through talks before the situation worsens.

Iran US war News: Tension is at its peak in the Middle East. On one hand Benjamin Netanyahu is continuously talking about attacks, while on the other hand Donald Trump is claiming talks with Iran. But the surprising thing is that Iran has completely rejected the news of these talks. In such a situation, the situation seems to be getting more complicated.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday evening that he had spoken to Trump today. According to him, Trump believes that on the basis of the great success achieved by working together with the American army, the objective of the war can now be achieved through an agreement.

Benjamin Netanyahu said this

The Israeli Prime Minister said that there should be an agreement that fully protects Israel’s essential interests. But at the same time Netanyahu made it clear that the attacks have not stopped. Israel is continuously striking in Iran and Lebanon. Missile and nuclear programs are being targeted. He also said that heavy losses are being inflicted on Hezbollah. A few days ago, two more nuclear scientists were also claimed to have been killed. In the end he said that Israel will protect its interests under any circumstances.

Trump had claimed to have talked

Meanwhile, Trump said that there have been “good and productive talks” with Iran in the last two days. He gave this statement during the operation which is being called Operation Epic Fury. On Monday morning, a few hours before the markets opened, Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social. He said that Iran’s power plants and energy infrastructure will not be attacked for five days while the talks continue. Earlier, Trump had threatened that if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz, these bases will be completely destroyed.

‘There was no discussion’

Contrary to Trump’s claims, Iran clearly said that no such talks took place. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on social media platform X that no talks have taken place with America. He said that all this is “fake news”, which is being used to influence the financial and oil markets. He also alleged that such things are being spread to get out of the difficult situation in which America and Israel are stuck.
