Monitoring Desk: In May 2025, India had to lick dust when it launched aggression on Pakistan. In reply to the blatant violation of its international boundary, Pakistan responded so strongly that it played havoc with India’s reputation of being a stronger country in the region.
Six Indian fighter jets, including Rafale fighter jets, MiG-29, and Su-30MKI, were brought down to the ground within hours. India fought this conflict with full technical, weaponry, and intelligence support of Israel, whose military commanders were present in India, manning Israel-made military hardware.
Within one month, India was defeated again, but this time in Iran, as Iran-Israel permanent ceasefire under the US proposal and Qatar’s mediation averted the threat of a major war in the region, and this is no secret that India was standing all out with Israel.
During the tension, Pakistan’s role in establishing peace in the region was conciliatory, and its efforts were exemplary. Pakistan remained diplomatically active and demanded an immediate ceasefire between the two countries.

On the other hand, the role of the Modi government and the media in the Iran-Israel conflict was also terrible. An Indian Journalist, Ravish Kumar, exposed the heinous role of the Indian media, stating that the Indian media presented the issue of the Iran-Israel war only as a religious conflict, and the Indian media continued to distort the facts by spreading false and baseless news to the public. He questioned Indian diplomacy and said it was a total failure of the Modi government’s diplomatic Corps, and the disgusting face of the Indian media has been exposed. He strongly criticized Modi’s poor foreign policy, stating that:
“Indian Foreign Minister Jaishankar is limited to appearances and wearing expensive suits; there is no life in the real policy. Jaishankar’s English is excellent, but he could not say a word on the Iran-Israel tension. The silence of the Modi government on the atrocities of Israel reflects India’s aggressive policies”, stated Kumar.
Some other journalists are also questioning Indian’s role during the Iran-Israel conflict, indicating that India’s cowardly stance on the Iran-Israel tension has damaged its reputation worldwide.
They are of the view that the Indian Media had been looking at Iran from an anti-Muslim perspective, and biased coverage during Operation Sindoor also embarrassed BJP supporters in the past. They believe that the Indian government, claiming so-calleda a democracy, has proven to be a silent spectator to Israeli human rights violations, and Indian foreign policy is no longer ideological but is based only on opportunism and is a slave to Western powers.
India’s role as Israel’s largest weapons buyer clashed with economic ties to Iran, leading to its refusal to join the SCO’s condemnation of Israel, a decision influenced by impending U.S. trade pressures, according to Al Jazeera’s analysis. Now India has lost face in the SCO also, where it stood alone in favour of Israel while all other members condemned Israeli actions, calling Israel as aggressor.
On the other hand, Pakistan has been proactive in peace seeking, peacekeeping, and peacemaking globally, having a loud and clear stance that wars are not an option. The ceasefire between Iran and Israel has confirmed that it is the defeat of Israel that tried to find war as an option, and also vindicated that Pakistan’s stance on the conflict was actually “standing on the right side of history”. The information domain maligned by Indian fake news and misinformation was not only countered by Pakistani information warriors and media, but they also again showed the world the hypocritical and ugly lying face of India. It has also been confirmed that India was involved in breaching the security of Iran and had been working for Israel inside Iran, and 76 persons arrested in Iran working for Israel included 13 Indian nationals who had been there for business, tourism purposes.
