Pakistani defense minister: We stand by Iran / Danger threatening all Islamic countries

Pars Today - The Pakistani defense minister, condemning the savage moves of the Israeli regime, especially its military aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, said on Saturday, "Iran is not only a neighbor, but also a brother country with deeply-rooted relations with Pakistan and we stand by Iran."

Khawaja Muhammad Asif, in his speech at National Assembly of Pakistan, stressing that his country stands with and supports Iran, called on the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to hold an emergency meeting to compile a common strategy in response to the continuous aggressions of the Israeli regime.

Asif described the savage measures of Israel as a serious threat for the regional and global peace and said sorrowfully, "Palestinian children are killed, but protests in non-Muslim countries are more than Muslim countries."

The Pakistani defense minister, warning that if the Islamic world does not act together, every one of them will finally be targeted, said, "The way in which the Zionist regime has struck Yemen, Iran and Palestine shows that it is a greater plan and most of the Muslim countries are now facing security dangers."

Emphasizing that Pakistan is decisively standing beside Iran and will continue supporting it at international organizations, Khawaja Muhammad Asif reminded, "Israel's hands are plunged in the blood of the innocent."
