A video circulating widely on social media has sparked intense speculation after it allegedly showed personnel in Pakistani Army uniforms claiming they were crossing the border into Iran to fight against Israeli and US forces. The short clip, which has gone viral, reportedly shows a group of soldiers in military gear walking towards what they described as the Iran–Pakistan border region in Balochistan.
In the footage, a man dressed in what appears to be a Pakistan Army uniform can be heard speaking directly to the camera. In Hindi-Urdu, he says, “Hum abhi sarhad paar karke, Iran ki taraf jaa rahe hai, Ya Allah Iran ko kamiyab karna aur hume bhi, Dua me yaad rkhiye.” (We are now crossing the border and heading towards Iran. O Allah, grant Iran success and grant us success as well. Please remember us in your prayers).
