Pak rejects reports of Dar sharing info about Iran's nuclear prog with Rubio

Business To Business, Islamabad, 4^th June, 2026:  Pakistan on Thursday rejected reports alleging that Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar shared information about Iran's nuclear programme with Marco Rubio during their recent meeting in Washington.
Addressing the issue, Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi dismissed the reports and stated that Pakistan had not provided any such information.
According to Andrabi, Pakistan rejects claims that Dar engaged in the "exchange of any kind of information about Iran's nuclear programme" during his discussions with Rubio on May 29.
Background
The reports emerged following a meeting between Dar and Rubio in Washington as part of ongoing diplomatic engagements between Pakistan and the United States. Speculation in some media and political circles suggested that Iran-related issues, including its nuclear programme, may have been discussed.
However, the Pakistani Foreign Office has categorically denied the specific allegation that confidential or intelligence-related information regarding Iran's nuclear activities was shared.
Regional context
Pakistan maintains diplomatic relations with both the United States and Iran and has traditionally sought to balance its ties with the two countries. Given the sensitivity surrounding Iran's nuclear programme and broader regional security issues, allegations of intelligence sharing can carry significant diplomatic implications.
With the Foreign Office's denial, Pakistan's official position is that no such exchange of information took place during the Dar–Rubio meeting. No public statement from the U.S. side has indicated that such information was discussed or shared.
