Pakistan shut borders with Iran amid rising Iran-Israel tensions


KARACHI (Pakistan), June 16 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Pakistan has closed its air and land routes with neighbouring Iran amid the latter's escalating conflict with Israel, leaving hundreds stranded on both sides of the border, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) quoted officials on Monday.

The closure, effective since Sunday, is expected to cause food and fuel shortages in parts of Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province, which relies heavily on supplies and smuggled oil from Iran, local residents fear.
