BREAKING: U.S. SENDS MILITARY TO REGION AS IRAN REJECTS DEAL - w/ Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar
"In April, Galibbath has been scheduled to travel to Islamabad for a meeting with Vance, but Iranian security officials feared Israel could use the visit to assassinate Galibbah or Arachi in an effort to derail the negotiations. Pakistani fighter jets escorted the Iranian delegations aircraft carrying more than 70 Iranian officials between the Iranian border and Islamabad. On the return flight, Iranian security services warned of intelligence that Israel planned to strike the plane and that two Israeli fighter jets had entered Iranian airspace from the Iraqi border. The aircraft made an emergency landing in Msad and the delegation traveled the remaining eight hours by road to Tehran."
The New York Times reported the United States could not restrain Israel from attempting to assassinate Iranian Parliament Speaker Galibbah and Foreign Minister Arachi during nuclear negotiations in April 2026. Washington was forced to warn Iran through third-party channels, and Pakistani fighter jets escorted the Iranian delegation to protect them. The incident reveals U.S. inability to control its ally and Iran's lack of trust in American security guarantees.
