LAHORE (Dunya News) – Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has expressed deep sorrow over the reported assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and appealed to the public to demonstrate restraint.

In her statement issued from Lahore, Bokhari termed the recent attacks on Iran and the martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei as “extremely tragic,” saying Pakistan shares heartfelt grief over the incident.

She said Pakistan has extended diplomatic and moral support to Iran and clearly condemned the attack against the country at the United Nations.
