Federal Minister for National Food Security and Research Rana Tanveer Hussain announced on Sunday that Pakistan would consider purchasing oil from Iran once the sanctions imposed on that country are lifted. He stated that the conclusion of recent conflicts would positively impact Pakistan's economic outlook.
Economic Impact of Regional Conflicts
Talking to the media, the minister said that ending the conflict would help place Pakistan's economy on a path of improvement. He expressed the view that Israel is moving towards destruction and claimed its downfall is inevitable. Rana Tanveer Hussain maintained that Israel is becoming increasingly isolated internationally, noting that even the United States and the European Union are distancing themselves from Israel. He added that the repercussions of the conflict between the United States and Iran would continue to affect the region and the global economy for the next two years.
Oil Import from Iran After Sanctions
The federal minister said that Pakistan would review the possibility of importing oil from Iran once American sanctions on Tehran are removed. This statement comes amid ongoing discussions about energy security and regional cooperation.
Allegations Against India
Rana Tanveer Hussain also alleged that India is financially supporting Fitna al-Khawarij, while asserting that Pakistani security forces are carrying out effective operations against Indian proxies. He did not provide specific evidence for these claims.
Political Dialogue and Democracy
Commenting on the country's political situation, Rana Tanveer Hussain said that if Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf behaves as a genuine political party, dialogue with it could take place at every level. He added that any political force sincere to the nation and its people should embrace the spirit of the Charter of Democracy. Criticising the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister, the minister said that he should first make predictions regarding his own leader before commenting on the Prime Minister.
The minister also noted that a robbery FIR was registered after an eight-day delay, though he did not provide further details on this matter.
