📸🇵🇰 - New satellite imagery shows Nur Khan Air Base is expanding. New hangars are being built to house more transport planes, refuelers or new fighter jets.

As Pakistan’s main logistics hub, these upgrades prepare the base for new jets like the J-35 and J-10C.

📸🇮🇷🇴🇲 - Iranian FM indeed went to Oman directly from Islamabad, through US controlled airspace over Gulf of Oman.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 - Trump on why he cancelled his envoys' trip to Pakistan: "The Iranians gave us a paper that should have been better and interestingly the minute I cancelled it, within 10 minutes, we got a new paper that was much better…they offered a lot but not enough”

🇺🇸🇰🇼❌🇮🇷❗️ — According to NBC News, the scale of damage sustained by U.S. bases across United States Central Command is reportedly much more severe than previously disclosed.

▶️The report states that an Iranian Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force F-5 fighter jet was able to penetrate defenses and carry out an airstrike on Camp Buehring in Kuwait.

📸🇮🇷🇵🇰🇴🇲 - Monitoring: The plane (Meraj - IRAN05) that carried Iranian FM Abbas Agarhchi to Islamabad returned to Tehran.

Meanwhile, a Pakistan Army-owned plane linked to the Army chief took off simultaneously from Nur Khan airbase and landed in Muscat, Oman. This raises the possibility that Agarhchi is using a Pakistani plane but we never know.

🇮🇷🇴🇲🇵🇰 - Iran’s diplomatic journalist Sara Massoumi says Araghchi will return to Islamabad from Muscat tomorrow before heading to Russia.

Its very likely Iranian FM took the Pakistan-army affiliated plane to Muscat as Gulf of Oman is being heavily patrolled by USAF.

🛩️🇮🇷🇴🇲🇵🇰 - The Iranian delegation led by FM Agarhchi, after conducting political consultations in Muscat, has returned to Islamabad on Pakistan army jet.

🔹During its several-hour stopover in Islamabad, the delegation will exchange its latest positions and viewpoints on ending the imposed war with the Pakistani mediator.

🔹The Foreign Minister will proceed to Russia as part of this trip.
