This is a misleading and a misrepresentation of facts. The woman was a French citizen of Pakistan origin.

A video shows Senate opposition leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas claiming that Pakistan allowed the United States to use its airspace for strikes against Iran.
The video is digitally manipulated with an audio recording. The political-religious leader has not issued such remarks.

This is evident by the voice distortions and does not synchronise with Nasir Abbas's lips or resemble his voice.
The original video was posted on YouTube of his interview on a TV channel. In this video, he is not heard making the alleged remarks.

The video shows clear signs of AI generation. The Arabic text on the “Check-in” signs is gibberish, and a man appears to walk through a barrier, a common AI glitch. The setting imitates an airport and does not match the actual layout of Dubai International’s terminals.

Indian social media accounts shared a video claiming a drone attack by Afghanistan in Peshawar city of Pakistan with reports of casualties.

There has no drone attack in Peshawar. Pakistan confirmed small drone attacks in three cities – Swabi, Mansehra, and Abbottabad .
However, there have no casualties reported. Pakistan brought down the drones using anti-drone systems.

The accompanying is old and unrelated. It has been circulated on social media since at least August 2025.
Thus, the claim that the video shows panic and chaos after a drone strike in Peshawar are false.
