According to the report of the regional office of Tasnim news agency, “Mommataz Zahra Baloch, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, in response to the sanctioning of 4 foreign companies related to the country’s missile program, said: Such listings of commercial entities were also made in the past for allegedly being related to Pakistan’s ballistic missile program, without any evidence being provided about it.
He stated that Washington’s recent decision was based on a suspicion, and emphasized the necessity of negotiation.
