Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has stated that Pakistani naval ships have been tested in the war with India, and the country is receiving so many orders that it is possible that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) may not be needed within six months. During an interview on Geo News’ program Capital Talk, Khawaja Asif stated that Pakistan is prepared for war with both India and Afghanistan and has already proven it in May 2025.
He said that the Pakistani response to the war with India was seen by the whole world, and the whole world saw how PM Modi was embarrassed, losing respect both at home and abroad. The Defense Minister added that during the war with Pakistan, India had approached the United States and also contacted China, but Pakistan will still respond with aggression. Khawaja Asif stated that there is no objection to either Mahmood Khan Achakzai or any individual. He said that by defeating India, Pakistan’s respect has increased, Pakistani ships have been tested, and the country is receiving so many orders that it is possible that the IMF may not be needed within six months.
The Defense Minister also stated that Venezuela had no bigger army or weapons, and the Pakistani army’s metal is recognized by the whole world. He said that after the war in May 2025, India’s confidence was destroyed, and the Taliban and TTP in Afghanistan are not credible, as they are tied to India. Khawaja Asif stated that there is no hope from the Afghan Taliban. He said that if the United States is a friend of humanity, they should kidnap Netanyahu and put him on trial in a court, and we should pray that Turkey kidnaps the Israeli Prime Minister and settles the score.
The Defense Minister stated that the World Order, which is a little bit, is being destroyed, and Iran’s attack by the United States will pose a challenge to Pakistan. He said that Israel has made America a fool or both are doing everything together. Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Barrister Gohar Khan stated that if the talks have reached the 5 big ones, it should not be understood. He said that in 2012, Israel said that Iran would launch an atomic bomb in 4-5 days, and in 2018, Israel lied in the United Nations about Iran.
The Defense Minister stated that all these allegations were made to justify a future attack on Iran, and what happened in Venezuela is not a good omen. He said that Netanyahu should be the most wanted criminal now, and the Israeli Prime Minister is the worst criminal in humanity.
