TEHRAN – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps deputy chief on Saturday commended Pakistan’s “wise” and “brave” decision not to join the anti-Yemen coalition led by Saudi Arabia, Mehr reported.

“The calamities occurring across the region today are all the product of the U.S. and the Zionist regime’s atrocities,” Brigadier General Hossein Salami said in a meeting in Tehran with Chief of General Staff of Pakistan Army Bilal Akbar.

“Muslims are all aboard the same ship, and if one Muslim country is hurt, it puts the entire Islamic world at risk; therefore, we need to take the interests of our own country and the Islamic Ummah into constant consideration,” Salami remarked.
