TL;DR

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said there should be no double standards by which some countries possess ballistic missiles while Iran is denied them, according to a statement carried by Iranian media and monitored by Israeli-based analysts.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that there should be no double standards in international arms policy, specifically regarding ballistic missiles for Iran. The statement was carried by Iranian media and monitored by Israeli-based analysts. The report originates from a single source, and full context or exact venue of the remark has not been independently verified. As The Zioneer previously reported (June 17), Iranian discourse has recently included public questioning of non-proliferation norms concerning nuclear weapons; this Pakistani leader's comment extends that debate to ballistic missile capabilities.
