Us Pakistan Ties

A Pakistani man with ties to Iran has been arrested for allegedly plotting to assassinate a US official in retaliation for the US killing of Revolutionary Guards commander Qassem Soleimani, the Justice Department said Tuesday.

Principal Deputy Spokesperson for the US Department of State, Vedant Patel reiterated the country's stand on terrorism and said that they hope that any country on the planet condemns terrorism anywhere.

Ahead of general elections in Pakistan, the US has asserted that it plays no role in "choosing" the leaders of the country and deals with elected leaders and the government.
