Teheran, Islamabad get closer over threats

TEHERAN - The Iranian and Pakistani defense ministers held talks on defense cooperation amid US President Donald Trump's recent Twitter spree against both nations, Iranian PressTV reported on Friday.

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ali Hatami hailed growing defense cooperation between Teheran and Islamabad in a telephone conversation with his Pakistani counterpart Khurram Dastgir-Khan on Thursday.

The latest developments in the region and in the Islamic world necessitate more interactions among officials of Iran and Pakistan, two major countries in the Muslim world, Hatami was quoted as saying.
