Will Donald Trump visit Islamabad? Netizens allege fake news, say 'Pakistan's media appears increasingly detached from reality'
Rumors of President Donald Trump visiting Pakistan in September have begun circulating as a result of reporting from the country's local news channels, including Saama and Geo TV. While Geo TV had gone as far as report that Donald Trump's visit would occur on September 18, this claim has been debunked due to the fact that the president is already scheduled for a visit to the United Kingdom from September 17 to 19. This has lead to widespread online debate on whether Trump will even visit Islamabad at all, or whether Pakistan's media is simply "detached from reality". Pakistan's media appears increasingly detached from reality, frequently disseminating misinformation as a matter of routine. Netizens question Donald Trump Islamabad visit The rumors of Donald Trump's supposed Islamabad visit drew strong reactions from advocacy groups such as Nepal Correspondence, while sharply accused the United States of snuggling up to a 'terror factory' to advance its own interests. 𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐃 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫.US is dangerously closing in with terror factory #Pakistan for its own interests in Indo- Pacific. While Pakistan is1/2 In response, user Sougat Chakraborty said that the rumored visit was 'fake news' because Geo TV had mentioned the date to be September 18, which would coincide with a confirmed visit to the UK. Fake news. GeoTV pak started this. Clarified by@sidhant However, Nepal Correspondence still believed a visit was on the cards at some other date. We are not mentioning any specific dates but such a visit is likely. Wait for our thread to understand the context. Other users continued to speculate on what an Islamabad visit would entail, with Dr gsp believing that Trump wanted to visit an American nuclear weapons facility that had been struck during Operation Sindoor. Trum will visit Pakistan to check american Nuclear weapons secretly hidden at kirana hills , earlier this nuclear facility was hit by Indian armed forces during Operation Sindoor User India Unfiltered posted a recap of the recent India-Pakistan tensions, and claimed that the Pakistan Foreign Office had denied any knowledge of a supposed visit. 🚨 Trump in Islamabad this Sept?Reports say 🇺🇸 US Prez Donald Trump may visit 🇵🇰 in Sept—1st such visit in 20 yrs.🔸 Pak Foreign Office denies knowledge🔸 🇮🇳 India visit may follow🔸 Comes after April's Pahalgam terror attack (26 civilians killed)🔸 Triggered 🇮🇳 Operation… Pakistan has been making recent overtures to Trump Regardless of whether or not Donald Trump actually visits Islamabad, Pakistan has been making strong efforts to woo the United States president. Pakistan was among the countries alongside Israel that recommended Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The country is also looking into crypto and rare earths deals to improve its relationship with the United States. Funny how geopolitics is pitching itself as a bitcoin mining hub, a source of rare earths and offering its support for a Nobel Peace prize for Donald Trump, as a cash-strapped Islamabad seeks to stave off hefty trade tariffs and deepen ties with the White House.

US Op Midnight Hammer damaged only 1 of 3 Iranian nuke sites before Trump blocked wider strike: Report
Despite the administration's rhetoric, internal assessments reportedly suggest that only Fordow's enrichment work was disrupted in any substantial way, potentially setting Iran back by up to two years read more A satellite view shows an overview of Fordow underground complex, after the US struck the underground nuclear facility, near Qom, Iran. Maxar Technologies/Reuters A US strike on Iran last month damaged just one of three targeted nuclear enrichment facilities, according to an internal assessment reported by NBC News, raising questions about the true extent of Operation Midnight Hammer's impact on Tehran's atomic programme. The attack on the Fordow nuclear site 'significantly' set back Iran's work there, but the facilities at Natanz and Isfahan were reportedly left largely intact due to their deep underground construction, NBC said, citing unnamed officials familiar with the report. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The US military had prepared a far more expansive plan for sequential strikes on additional facilities over several weeks. However, President Donald Trump ultimately opted against the broader operation. NBC quoted senior officials as saying Trump was concerned about high casualty figures on both sides and was unwilling to escalate America's military involvement, consistent with his aversion to foreign entanglements. Contradictory claims The findings are in stark contrast with public statements by both Trump and the Pentagon, which have continued to portray the June 22 strikes as overwhelmingly successful. Trump has repeatedly described the results as total destruction, calling reports to the contrary 'fake'. He posted on Truth Social: 'Monumental damage was done to all nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. 'Obliteration' is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply embedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame. The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!' Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell echoed the president's view in a separate statement: 'The credibility of the Fake News Media is similar to that of the current state of the Iranian nuclear facilities: destroyed, in the dirt, and will take years to recover. President Trump was clear and the American people understand: Iran's nuclear facilities in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz were completely and totally obliterated. There is no doubt about that.' Limited success Despite the administration's rhetoric, the NBC report cites internal assessments suggesting that only Fordo's enrichment work was disrupted in any substantial way, potentially setting Iran back by up to two years. The use of GBU-57 'bunker buster' bombs in the operation — the first time they were deployed in combat — had limited impact on deeper underground structures at Natanz and Isfahan, officials said. Operation Midnight Hammer, conducted in a single night, was publicly framed around its most successful element, with Fordow's visible damage serving as proof of American military effectiveness. However, the muted effects on the other two sites are believed to have led military planners to quietly scale down post-strike assessments and shift attention away from the less successful aspects of the mission. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Iranian government has yet to offer an official assessment of the damage or confirm any setbacks to its nuclear programme.
