Pakistan's $4bn Libya Arms Deal Sparks Global Outcry, UN Embargo Violation Feared

• Pakistan finalized a record $4 billion deal to sell JF-17 fighter jets and Super Mushak trainers to the Libyan National Army (LNA), supervised by Field Marshal Asim Munir.
• The deal draws global scrutiny as it appears to violate a longstanding United Nations arms embargo on Libya, imposed due to civil war and instability.
• Supplying arms to the LNA, which controls eastern Libya but rejects the UN-recognized Tripoli government, risks prolonging conflict and international backlash for Pakistan.
• The deal raises eyebrows given Pakistan's deep economic fragility and its potential to fund military enhancements along the LoC from an Indian perspective.
• Pakistan maintains the deal doesn't break any UN embargo, citing others dealing with Libya and improved LNA relations with Western governments, while using its "Operation Sindoor" narrative.

Why It Matters: Pakistan's record $4bn arms deal with Libya's LNA faces global scrutiny for potential UN embargo violation.
