Pakistan expresses concern over remarks of Iranian army official

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan was called to the Foreign Office on Tuesday for conveying Pakistan's concerns over the reported remarks of the Iranian Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces regarding cross border actions.
