Pakistan to back Iran in case of foreign attack

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari says his country will support Iran against any foreign aggression, Press TV reports.

Islamabad will also not provide any assistance to Washington over a conflict with Tehran, Zardari told reporters at a joint press conference with his Iranian and Afghan counterparts Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hamid Karzai in Islamabad on Friday.

Washington and Tel Aviv have repeatedly threatened Tehran with a ‘military option’ in their attempts to force the Islamic Republic to halt its nuclear program.
