Using the Freedom of Information Act, Declassified UK found that at least 21 universities had asked arms companies BAE Systems, Leonardo, Thales, Rolls-Royce and others to sit on their committees, including Edinburgh and Glasgow universities.

Declassified also reported that the firms are usually asked to provide “strategic direction” for academic departments as well as review the progress of research projects.

Responding to Declassified’s investigation, the co-founder of Demilitarise Education, Jinsella Kennaway, added: “Academic freedom is undermined while arms companies hold such influence over what gets researched, funded, and legitimised on campus”.

Pakistani Ambassador to the US: The cessation of war in Lebanon is explicitly mentioned in the text of the agreement

- Contrary to the statements made by Trump and Netanyahu, Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, Pakistan's ambassador to the United States, officially confirmed that Lebanon is part of the ceasefire agreement between the United States, Iran, and related parties.

- In a live interview with CNN, the Pakistani ambassador said, "Based on the understandings reached and Pakistan's mediating role, Lebanon is clearly included within the framework of the ceasefire agreement. This matter has been fully agreed upon by the parties and there is no ambiguity in this regard."

- He added that Islamabad emphasized the necessity of a comprehensive ceasefire during recent negotiations, which also includes a complete halt to military operations in Lebanon.

- Sheikh, referring to discussions held between Pakistani, American, and Iranian officials, stressed that any interpretation contrary to this matter contradicts the original text of the agreement.

- The Pakistani ambassador continued: "Pakistan, as one of the facilitating countries in this process, witnessed that Lebanon was explicitly listed among the areas covered by the ceasefire. We believe that full implementation of this agreement will not be possible without including Lebanon."
