Shehbaz said the US sanctions were adding to the miseries of the Iranian people. The world must realise that “unless the last person is cured, no one and I repeat NO ONE would be safe,” he added.
He said it is about time the world community put interests of humanity first and assisted Iran in mitigating the common COVID-19 challenge.
