LAHORE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 28th Jun, 2026) Federal Minister for National food Security and Research Rana Tanveer Hussain on Sunday said that Pakistan would consider purchasing oil from Iran once the sanctions imposed on the country are lifted, adding that an end to the recent conflict would contribute positively to Pakistan's economic outlook.

Talking to the media, the minister said that the conclusion of the conflict would help place Pakistan's economy on a path of improvement. He expressed the view that Israel was moving towards destruction and claimed that its downfall was inevitable.

The federal minister said that Pakistan would review the possibility of importing oil from Iran once American sanctions on Tehran were removed. He also alleged that India was financially supporting Fitna al-Khawarij, while asserting that Pakistani security forces were carrying out effective operations against Indian proxies.

Commenting on the country's political situation, Rana Tanveer Hussain said that if Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf behaved as a genuine political party, dialogue with it could take place at every level. He added that any political force sincere to the nation and its people should embrace the spirit of the Charter of Democracy.

Criticising the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the minister said that he should first make predictions regarding his own leader before commenting on the Prime Minister.
