Pakistan on Thursday claimed Israel took Iranian foreign minister Abbas Aragchi and its parliament's speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf off from its hit list on Islamabad's request to Washington to "not to target them".
A Pakistani official told Reuters, "The Israelis had their ... coordinates and wanted to take them out, we told the US if they are also eliminated then there is no one else to talk to, hence the US asked the Israelis to back off."
