AI Summary (NQ-processed)

According to India Today, Pakistan has established an 'Iron Escort' air security corridor to ensure safety. The Pakistan Air Force has deployed numerous military aircraft over Iran and the Persian Gulf to protect Iranian delegations, as the Iranian Air Force has been largely decimated. Flight tracking data shows Pakistani JF-17 and F-16 fighters near Bandar Abbas, likely escorting Iranian officials to Islamabad. Additionally, IL-78 aerial refueling tankers extended fighter endurance, and airborne early warning aircraft monitored airspace from Pakistan to the Persian Gulf. Pakistan also has NATO-like defense agreements with the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with its aircraft appearing in their airspace. A professor from Quaid-e-Azam University noted global tension surrounding these negotiations, which are crucial for the Middle East's future.
