Pakistan and Iran vow to enhance efforts at a 'united front' against Afghanistan-based militants
Neighbors Pakistan and Iran on Wednesday pledged to enhance efforts at a “united front” against Afghanistan-based militants, saying their presence poses a serious threat to regional and global security. The countries, which share a long and porous border, made the commitment in a joint statement issued after a three-day visit by Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi to Islamabad. The visit was aimed at mending ties that were strained in January when each carried out strikes in the other’s territory, targeting militants accused of attacking security forces.

Threatening Abramovich ally would be 'suicide', soccer agent tells London court
A soccer agent on Wednesday denied threatening a senior director at the English Premier League club Chelsea in an email, telling a London court that trying to intimidate an ally of former owner Roman Abramovich would be a "suicide mission". Saif Rubie is on trial over an email he sent to Marina Granovskaia in May 2022 demanding a six-figure commission for the transfer of French defender Kurt Zouma from Chelsea to West Ham the previous year. Prosecutors allege that was a reference to an incident involving soccer agent Kia Joorabchian, citing claims that he was accosted in a restaurant years earlier and had his watch taken before being presented with demands for money at his office.
