CBS News report confirmed
CBS News has confirmed the new pictures in its report. US President in April donald trump After the ceasefire was announced by Iran, Iran sent several aircraft to Pakistan’s Noorkhan airbase. It was claimed in the report that reconnaissance and intelligence aircraft were also included in these. US Senator Lindsey Graham has also expressed concern on this matter. He told US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Dan Kane that he did not trust Pakistan.
Pakistan had rejected the report
During a hearing of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Graham said that if Iranian military aircraft are being kept safe at Pakistani airbases, then America should think of appointing some other country as a mediator. He also said that for this reason the talks between America and Iran are not progressing. However, Pakistan had earlier completely rejected the CBS News report. In the statement issued by Pakistan, it was said that this report is misleading and sensational. Pakistan said that such things weaken the efforts to maintain peace and stability in the region.
When did Iran get C-130 aircraft?
Iran first received C-130 aircraft in the 1970s during the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Even after the Islamic Revolution of 1979, these aircraft remained with the Iran Air Force. Due to US sanctions, Iran could not get new C-130 aircraft, so it kept the old aircraft in use through repair and maintenance. Iran’s C-130 aircraft have desert yellow camouflage, which contrasts with the light gray C-130 aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force. For this reason, identification of aircraft in satellite images is considered easy.
Iran has already sent aircraft
This is not the first time that Iran has sent its aircraft to Pakistan during war. Earlier, such news had also surfaced in 2025. At that time Israel had started Operation Rising Lion between 13 June and 24 June 2025. During that time, a Boeing 747 aircraft of Iran was seen at Karachi Airport.
