🚫 FACT CHECK: This Tweet Contains Misinformation

Claim: 🚨 EXCLUSIVE — A potentially explosive development from inside Pakistan’s military establishment. A highly placed senior military source tells me Field Marshal Asim Munir is allegedly preparing to become President of Pakistan while retaining control of the armed forces as CDF. The source further claims senior commanders have been told that Washington has given its blessing, with US official Donald Blome specifically named. But there is currently no independent evidence proving US approval. So I investigated the wider picture: 🇵🇰 Zardari’s alleged resistance 🇺🇸 Washington’s possible role ⚓ Karachi & Gwadar ⛏️ Balochistan’s minerals 🇨🇳 China and CPEC 📜 The proposed 28th Amendment 🪖 President + military commander in one office? Pakistan Regime Change 2.0 — or an internal military power play using Washington’s name? Full investigation now on Soldier Speaks: https://t.co/3VwUWMrqtB
