Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan called Friday for the lifting of "unjust" US-led sanctions on neighbouring Iran, so Tehran can better deal with the novel coronavirus crisis.
Khan's comments came after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani wrote to him asking for help in dealing with the novel coronavirus outbreak that has now killed at least 1,433 people in Iran.
"I would stress and insist to the international community to lift the sanctions on Iran," Khan said at a press conference.
"It is very unjust they are dealing with such a large outbreak on one side, and on the other they are facing international sanctions."
