Press conference by Iran envoy in Islamabad called off over security reasons


A planned news conference by Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan in Islamabad was canceled on Thursday, Afghanistan International reported.
Reza Amiri Moghaddam, Iran’s ambassador, had been due to speak at the National Press Club about the current situation in Iran, the outlet said.
Some journalists said the event may have been called off because of objections from Pakistan’s foreign ministry and what were described as security considerations, although this has not been officially confirmed, according to the report.
