Both neighboring countries Pakistan and Iran have carried out air strikes within each other’s geographical boundaries, drawing a new line of mutual hostility.
This has increased tension in the area but Pakistan’s biggest worry is that the Chinese radars it had deployed to deal with the threats have betrayed it.
Yes, Pakistan had deployed state-of-the-art Chinese radars to protect against missile and drone attacks, but they could not stop Iranian missile attacks and fled at the last moment.
Media reports said China had deployed various Chinese surveillance radars and defense systems, including the IBIS-150 and JY-27A, to ensure its air defense but they failed to intercept the Iranian attacks.
Pakistan is very angry with this and is troubled by the betrayal of its old and trusted friend China. Pakistan is also worried that Iran attacked it but China is appealing for restraint.
Both countries i.e. Iran and Pakistan share a volatile border spanning about 900 kilometers (560 mi), on one side of which is Pakistan’s Balochistan province and on the other side is Iran’s Sistan and Baluchistan province.
Iran has claimed that its airstrikes targeted positions of a Sunni separatist group inside Pakistan.
Here, Islamabad has condemned the Iranian attacks, calling it a “gross violation”. Pakistan has said that these attacks were carried out on civilian targets, in which many people including two children were injured.
Iran carried out an air strike in Koh-e-Sabz area in Balochistan province on Tuesday. In response, Pakistan also carried out attacks in the border areas of Iran on Thursday, resulting in the deaths of nine people.
Pakistan has said that it has attacked the positions of Baloch separatists and rebels.
