Iran, Pakistan agree to set up joint border “reaction force”
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani walks with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan during a welcome ceremony in Tehran, Iran, April 22, 2019.
The border skirts the volatile southeastern Iranian province of Sistan-Baluchistan which has been the scene of frequent attacks on Iran's security forces. In March, Rouhani demanded Pakistan act "decisively against anti-Iranian terrorists", following a February 13 attack that killed 27 members of the elite Revolutionary Guards in Sistan-Baluchistan.
"Iran is ready to meet Pakistan's oil and gas demands ... we are ready to increase exports to Pakistan ten-fold," Rouhani said.
