Iran’s Air Strike In Pakistan

Iran carried out an air strike in Pakistan’s Balochistan region on Tuesday night from where terror outfit Jaish al-Adl was allegedly operating. Following the air strike, the Pakistani government strongly condemned the air strikes and accused Iran of violating its sovereignty and air space.

“It is even more concerning that this illegal act has taken place despite the existence of several channels of communication between Pakistan and Iran,” read an official statement from the Pakistani foreign ministry.

The foreign ministry further claimed that the attack on its territory resulted in the deaths of “two innocent children” as it warned Iran of “serious consequences of this unprovoked violation”.

Iran is yet to release an official statement regarding the attack. However, state-run Tasnim news, which is associated with the IRGS confirmed the attacks and shared purported videos of the same.

Following the strike, Pakistan summoned the Iranian charge d’affaires and issued its “strongest condemnation” for violating Pakistani sovereignty and airspace.

“Such unilateral acts are not in conformity with good neighbourly relations and can seriously undermine bilateral trust and confidence,” the foreign ministry stated further.
