In video clips that emerged on social media, pilgrims - allegedly supporter of Imran Khan - shouted 'chor' (thief) and 'gaddar' (traitor) as soon as Shehbaz Sharif and other members of his delegation arrived at the Prophet's Mosque in Madina last Thursday.
The Pakistani pilgrims also allegedly used abusive language against the delegation. The Madina police have claimed that five Pakistanis involved in the sloganeering have been arrested.

Leon Panetta said Iran war was not an unexpected risk. He pointed out that for years, US security officials have known Iran could disrupt global oil supplies by blocking the Strait of Hormuz. According to him, this was a well-known danger, but one that appears to have been overlooked in the current conflict.
