Asim Munir Assassination Plot? Pepe Escobar Alleges Pakistan Intelligence Stopped Mossad Plan

Brazilian journalist and geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar has claimed that Pakistan's military intelligence intercepted an alleged Israeli plan to assassinate Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir during a recent visit to Switzerland. However, the allegation has not been confirmed by Israeli, Pakistani or Swiss authorities.

Escobar made the claim during a conversation with Lebanese-Australian entrepreneur and political commentator Mario Nawfal on X. According to Escobar, the alleged operation involved Israel's Mossad and was aimed at Asim Munir and possibly other members of the Pakistani delegation attending peace-related discussions in Switzerland. JD Vance's Viral India-Pakistan Remark: Why He Called His Wife and Asim Munir the Most Important People in His Life (Watch).

"No, it was the opposite Mario. Basically the short story is Pakistani military intel intercepted ultra-credible information that the Mossad was preparing, under orders by Netanyahu, an assassination attempt against Asim Munir and maybe the rest of the Pakistani delegation going to Switzerland. So the Pakistanis sent a direct message via their usual intermediaries-I would bet it would be Oman in this case-directly to Israelis saying that 'if you touch our delegation, we're going to wipe you off the map', period. I am quoting, this is what our source informed," Escobar said. 'Stop Your Proxies in Lebanon or We'll Hit Iran Again': Donald Trump's Stark Warning to Tehran.

According to Escobar, Pakistan conveyed the warning through diplomatic intermediaries after receiving what he described as "ultra-credible information" about the alleged assassination plan.

Despite the claims, there has been no official confirmation from Israel or Pakistan. Authorities in Switzerland and the United States have also not publicly acknowledged any intelligence warning or security threat related to the alleged plot.

The remarks come amid heightened regional tensions. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir travelled to Mungenstock, Switzerland, last week to participate in discussions linked to United States-Iran peace efforts.

As of now, the claims remain unverified, and no evidence has been publicly presented to substantiate the alleged assassination plot.
