The Pakistani government has condemned an Iranian strike on targets within its borders, labeling it an “unprovoked violation” of the country’s airspace. According to Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry, the attack resulted in the tragic death of two innocent children, with three others wounded. The strikes initially surfaced in Iranian media reports, which were later withdrawn. The reports had mentioned that the targets were the bases of a Sunni militant group.
This incident adds to the existing tensions in the Middle East, already heightened by Israel’s conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Furthermore, it poses a potential threat to the relationship between Iran and Pakistan, nations that have historically viewed each other with suspicion despite maintaining diplomatic ties.
In response to the attack on its Balochistan province, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry issued a stern statement, expressing strong condemnation and deeming the violation of sovereignty as entirely unacceptable. The statement concluded with a warning that such actions could lead to serious consequences.
