Could have waitedPM Imran Khan has left on a two-day visit to Iran. Relations with neighbouring Iran have seen their fair share of ups and downs over the years owing to problems both old and new. Iran has never minced its words while expressing its reservations over Pakistan’s closeness to Saudi Arabia and the recent visit by Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman was not well-received either. Our Foreign Office has since lodged a serious complaint with Iran for its inaction against the group behind the killings, claiming that they came from across the Pak-Iran border and returned to the same area after the attack. Considering the sensitivity of the issue, the seriousness of the incident and the fact that the PM was due to visit Iran in a few days, it would have been better to wait and make the complaint in person.
