Forces have target targeted its hideouts in Iran the group claims that it have it doesn’t have any militants on Iranian soil at the same time Iranian State media has reported that seven non-iranian residents have been killed in an explosion in Saran district and it has also said that Iranian foreign

Ministry has summoned Pakistan’s chargy Affairs to tahan to offer explanation for the attacks this morning we have also seen videos claiming to be from the sight of the attack uh uh that have started to surface on social media platforms showing mud houses demolished in a village that is almost 100

Kilometers inside Iran’s border uh we uh for now we are yet to see any official statement coming out from Iranian authorities okay of course Iran and Pakistan share a very long border don’t there it’s 900 kilometers in length and there’s a real risk of escalation here isn’t

There well the tensions have risen and now we are in uncharted waters we have seen border skirmishes between Iran and Pakistan in the past but something this high profile is unheard of this is the first time such crossb strikes have taken place with Iran has struck inside Pakistan’s territory and then Pakistan

Has retaliated since yesterday there was a certain sense of betrayal in Islamabad over Iran’s un unilateral strike on in Pakistan on Tuesday uh it came as a shock and a surprise uh as both countries have had good and sometimes delicate relationship yet there has been an element of coordination and strategy

Between the two countries and according to Security Experts in Islamabad Iran’s strike on Tuesday evening actually created an environment of mistrust between the two countries the timing of these strikes are also very important this is happening at a time when uh earlier in the week Iran had launched

Strikes against Targets in Iraq and Syria so the situation also Sparks fear of Pakistan getting pulled into the wider Middle East conflict something that Pakistan has traditionally tried to stay out of

Pakistan’s army on Thursday said it carried out precision strikes in Iran using killer drones, rockets, loitering munitions and stand-off weapons that struck “terrorist” groups Balochistan Liberation Army and the Balochistan Liberation Front.
