Pakistan backs Iran over US nuclear deal row
[DAWN] As Prime Minister Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree... on Friday vowed to further strengthen Pakistain-Iran ties, the government expressed unequivocal support for Iran’s position on its troubled nuclear deal with the West that has been abandoned by the United States and urged the other parties to the agreement to remain committed to it. Talking to Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who is the first foreign leader to visit Pakistain after the assumption of office by the PTI-led coalition government, PM Khan recalled the "inseparable bonds" connecting Pakistain and Iran together and said that during his government he would make all efforts "to cement these relations in various areas to the benefit of both countries". Emphasising the importance of Pakistain and Iran in the region, PM Khan said the two countries "remained the key to growth and prosperity in the region through enhancing connectivity and promoting people to people linkages".
