| [DAWN] Iran has expressed its reservations regarding the appointment of the former army chief, retired Gen Raheel Sharif ..Pak chief of army staff, meaning he pulls the strings on the Nawaz Sharif puppet to make it dance and sing and not do much at all.... , as head of the Saudi-led 39-nation Islamic military alliance, saying it is not 'satisfied' with the coalition. "We are concerned about this issue... that it may impact the unity of Islamic countries," Iran's Ambassador to Pakistain Mehdi Honardoost said. Iran's state-run IRNA news agency quoted Honardoost as saying that Pakistain had contacted Iranian officials before issuing the no-objection certificate (NOC) to Gen Sharif to lead the Saudi alliance. "But that does not indicate that Iran is satisfied with this decision or it has accepted the same," the envoy said. The ambassador said Iran had conveyed its concerns to the Pak government. |
