Public sentiment regarding the Israel-Iran conflict is deeply polarized, with a notable urgency surrounding the safety of Indian nationals in the region. A significant portion of comments expresses support for Iran's actions and critiques Israel, highlighting fears of escalating violence. Many commenters call for peace and restraint, reflecting a complex tapestry of opinions influenced by emotional ties and geopolitical concerns. Skepticism towards media narratives is prevalent, indicating a desire for a nuanced understanding of the situation.

Israel

Iran

Indian Government

I think the main complexity is India's relationship with Russia which is at odds with the otherwise natural block between India, Israel and the US.

deep_minds

Hahaha just saying this to save face. We all know why USA is being cozy to Pakistan these days. They just want Pakistan to not do anything other than solidarity tweets till they finish their business in Iran

AffectionateStorm106

Isn't israel invisible to pakistan and Pakistanis, according to them, so who is this puppet talking about?

One_Environment9

India has ditched its long 'non-aligned' status for a more cozy relationship with my home country, commonly referred to as 'the great satan'.  They're currently being hypnotized by the worst elements of my fake government. 

That's the only reason why they're hedging here.

epic_launcher

India should encourage more war and manufacture weapons for both sides

Kesakambali

One country attacked another. Where’s the balance?

Working_Apartment_38

We have great relations with both sides. Endorsing either is a death wish for our diplomacy. Also these "Pakistanis" back one side in words and do the others' bidding in action.

NicePhilosopher6525

Pakistan literally calls for de-escalation in the second paragraph? Are you ok? 

It acknowledged the unprovoked attack and offered sympathy for the victims. Trying to shift the narrative for absolutely no reason. You bozos need a life

OnlyToStudy

India calling for de-escalation in This conflict is the same as any other country calling for de-escalation in the recent India-Pakistan clashes

Hannibalbarca123456

These “balanced-approach” tweets and the Pakistani tweets are lip service. That’s it. It’s just political theater.  

These tweets literally mean nothing as both India and Pakistan have o influence in the region over Israel or Iran. The only one whose words matter, at least to Israel, is the US and even then it’s questionable how much Israel is willing to share with the US.

PanzerKomadant

Not sure if English is your first language or not, but the Pakistan PM's message is very neutral and is calling for deescalation.

striped-monster4214

Pakistan doesn't recognize Israel. Mentioning it in the tweet is pretty much against that.

Spiritual-Agency2490

Is it me or are the pro  Endia bots getting stupider and stupider.

DiavoloKira

Of course pakis support Iran. The Islamic mind always bends towards injustice, intolerance and terrorism.

Useful-Draw-8349

Waiting for this guy to make a heel turn, since US may use its airbase to attack Iran in case things escalate further.

Level-Negotiation721

What the heck? Pakistan houses US air bases and shows solidarity with Iran? Geopolitics is freakin crazy.

FunLong2786

There's a reason pakistan has allies and india has none . If you're on everyone's side and no one's side at the same time , you will have no friends to back you up in tough times .

New_Combination3079

Having a balanced opinion when one side literally started the main conflict is weird. 


It's like saying if Pakistan attacked India unprovoked you'd want every country to be balanced and neutral. 

Intrepid-Debate5395

kalaalo

India has historically advocated ambiguity in their stances, and supported both sides of a conflict. They abstained from voting against either Russia or Israel due to them being our allies, yet India also sends aid to Ukraine and Palestine, and has recognised the sovereignty of both. I think, the current stance seems pretty ok atm because Iran is not an enemy, the world is already very tense rn

S_I_G_M_A179

Hope this time Iranian open their minds and know their enemies well . India being one of them

Routine7777

Iran just called 70+ Mossad Indian agents spying for Israel in Iran

Good. We need Israel yes but Iran is also important and alienating it would be a bad idea

and the pattern we're seeing so far with Israel's war tactics puts them at the top. Its not just the weaponry, iron defence F35s or the billions in funding, its Mossad. They have key, high value targets pinned in every enemy state. We've seen plenty of examples with Lebanon, Yemen, and most recently (also in the past) with Iran. They might be onto us, for God knows, how long.

PructFrust

&gt; We need to speed up on research and development and improve our air defenses

Word! Honestly this is a necessity now. Comes with pros and cons tho. Military budget gonna peak, and poverty for the citizens as well.

alishbahahmad7

May Allah bless Dr AQ Khan and all others involved in our nuclear program back then. We were and are absolutely nothing without nukes

Brave_Impact_

we need to carefully stop our reliance on Arab countries, they are unreliable and are up for sale at all times. This loan seeking mentality needs to slowly removed from our economic policies and you're right the military must up their R&amp;D spend along with improve intelligence.

milk-steak-sunny

Also its also the only one with a good Air Force

goldtank123

We need to buy a nuclear submarine yesterday. Investing in AD is good but if Israel wants to hit us, they will git us. Nothing can stop a swarm of ballistic missiles. Deterrence is the best strategy.

not_hairy_potter

So let's get something pretty straight. Israel is not doing anything to US. That is a fact. 

We aren't considered a major problem for Israel, in the sense that we are not involved in the conflict. Yes, we do the boycott, we raise our voice, but we are not funding any troops, etc. At the same time, we have helped in the Ukraine war, have major ties with China and Saudi Arabia (the other MENA country that America loves). 

So, like, we should stop this fear mongering and care about what is really required for us to better ourselves. The whole Iran-Israel thing was going to happen sooner or later. Like be sad for the lives that were lost, still advocate for Palestine where every you can but don't think a country like Israel will ever strike Pakistan overtly (covertly is another thing entirely).

Neat_Firefighter_806

People here really forgotten Iran was firing missiles at us last year, and have been helping India with BLA?

Anti-Israel works when our so called muslim allies aren't already involved in destabilizing us. Iran in Balochistan, Afghanistan in KPK, Arab states with Gwadar, Iran and Saudi inciting Sunni shia violence. 

And this whole "why are these arab states not helping out iran" You guys ever read what Iran did with Kuwait? who exactly did Zia go and help out Jordan against a coup? What Hezbollah, iranian backed, did to Sunnis in 2008? 

Muslim ummah is a dream that's never been true. We've been fighting eachother for centuries and centuries, or else there'd been no different Caliphates, no Abbasids after Umayyads, no Arabs destabilizing Ottomon empire with help from British

EverBurningPheonix

wdym "we"????? the army owns the country and they will jump at the first opportunity alongside the saudis to normalise relations with the zionist entity.

there was never "we" in this equation. they dont serve our interests. they're the remnants of colonialism that we failed to neutralise. get that through ur heads ffs

titanfeed

Pakistan is not privately anti-Israel lol. To be clear, we aren't pro-Israel either.

But we have had decades of intelligence-sharing relations with Israel. 

We have allegedly also sent secret delegations to Israel. In 2005, our foreign ministers publicly met each other in Turkey.

Hamza-K

I don't think we have or will be a part of it. It is more of a Middle Eastern conflict than a Religious one

kaiser-1048

Bold of you to assume we don't have secret ties.

makhaninurlassi

It’s time we start from the ground up — by teaching our children the truth, the facts, and the rich, often forgotten legacy of the Muslim world.
For too long, education has been reduced to a narrow path: study hard, get a degree, find a job, buy a house, start a family, and eventually fade away. This cycle, while stable for some, has also bred complacency and crushed potential.

We must shift this mindset.

Our goal should not just be good employees — it should be great leaders, visionaries, scholars, inventors, reformers, and changemakers across every field of life. The Muslim world once led in science, philosophy, medicine, trade, and governance — we need to rekindle that flame. That starts with telling our children who they really are, and what they are truly capable of.

Let’s teach identity with purpose. Education with meaning. Ambition with character.
Let’s rebuild — not for comfort, but for contribution.

EfficiencyFrosty6964

Israel's goal is to eliminate the military capability of regional muslim armies so that it can have it's final plans for greater Israel implemented. 

Be in no doubt Pakistan will be next.  Israelis already succeeded in getting India to attack Pakistan and directly supported them.

kebabish

I am not sure if I understand.  If they make you sign the Abraham Accords, why would you need to improve your air defenses?

kawhileopard

What are you talking about?

The biggest threat is PTI and that person who is in jail from last 3 years.

Israel and US have nothing to afraid , we already unofficially banned Palestine protest or any symbol of solidarity. Just slashed 99% budget of atomic energy commission. We will serve our masters as they command , they don’t need to attack us.

What is your end game here, the ability to hit Israel?

Israel is very small. Hitting them impacts its neighbours too.

This sort of hoo haa is of little practical use. In the end, stable geopolitics -&gt; stable economies -&gt; environment for growth -&gt; people can lead prosperous lives.

It's time our societies realised that.

ramario281

Why are yall saying Iran is out of the way? What happened to Iran?

kickkickpunch1

&gt;Now with Iran gone

I think you are a bit quick on this assesment.

We Turks are currently are only muslim nation who creates real danger and power struggle to Israel.

Dry-Peak-7230

You guys won against India, israel is no big deal then right?

Mightywavefunction

The far right ultranationalist scum Israel is at war against Humanity itself, and the only constant threat in the area..  The nazis must be stopped this time, too.

japakapalapa

Who told you Pakistan is privately anti Israel.. ?

biryanishiryani101

&gt;I think ((they))

You could just say Israel?

Western-Challenge188

What does signing abraham accords entail?  nothing wrong with normalisation of relationships, if it DOES NOT MEAN giving up stance on freedom and security for Palestinians.

hastobeapoint

Correction:

Apparently, not openly. 

Deep down, they already are with Zionists.

Pakistan uses Israeli spy softwares.
Pakistani friend circle is Saudi, Turkey and Azerbaijan. All shamelessly Zionist servants and master hypocrites who help Gaza with tongues and talks while help zionists with money, oil, military facilities, intelligence, and creating religio-political fog that benefits Israel.

Onland-Pirate

Also, like others engages with Israel via backdoors. They just sent a team this year too, it was all over Israeli newspaper, nothing like Hafiz Asim engaging Zionist lobby for favors

Ihatepros236

Yes and then u will be fucked by both india and israel

Icy-Major-1327

Make us lol. So much self importance… no one cares about Pakistan. Maybe India.

Jehab_0309

Asim Munir is working tirelessly to establish relations with Israel.

ahsan_shah

Hey guys, we don't care about Pakistan...

kulamsharloot

As an Israeli, you're feeling way too important. No one in Israel cares about Pakistan, and most Israeli's wouldn't be able to point at you on a map

The Israeli-Iranian conflict has intensified, prompting the Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv to issue a travel advisory for Indian nationals in Israel and Iran. Amid ongoing missile strikes, Indian citizens, including students and workers, face dangerous conditions.
