We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
Bagheri suggested that the US and its Western allies, referred to as the “global arrogance,” have tried in vain to hinder the emergence of a new world order. He underscored the significance of Iran and Pakistan as influential nations in the Muslim world and West Asia, sharing not only a border but also security concerns. Such concerns include the aftermath of the US’s “irresponsible” military withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 following a 20-year occupation.
Bagheri further emphasized the necessity for heightened cooperation between Iran and Pakistan to bolster security along their shared border.
