- The information ministry identified Khurasan Media Urdu, Baba Banaras and Afghan Defense as key sources pushing the claims.
- Officials said no credible outlet has verified KC-135R tankers, ISR platforms or US fighters operating from Pakistani bases, including Dalbandin or Pasni.
- Verified US aerial refuelling activity was linked to Europe and the broader Middle East, not to any operations from Pakistan.
