Sanctions won’t hurt Iran ties: FO

ISLAMABAD—Pakistan on Sunday said that the UM nuclear related sanctions against Tehran would not affect its relations with detouring Islamic country.
The UN Security Council voted Saturday to slap curbs on Iran’s trade in sensitive nuclear materials and technology, the move immediately condemned by Iran as illegal and said it would not affect its peaceful nuclear activities. “Pakistan is carefully analyzing the situation,” Foreign Office Spokesperson Tasnim Aslam told a private TV channel. She said Pakistan neither swapped any nuclear equipment with Iran nor did it purchase or supply any type of nuclear material to that country as the UN bans such practices.
The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously on Saturday to impose sanctions on Iran’s trade in sensitive nuclear materials and technology, in an attempt to stop uranium enrichment work that could produce material to be used in bombs.
