Iranian media reports said that Iran had informed the Pakistani Army about the attack on January 16 in Pakistan’s border province of Baluchistan.
Yet Pakistan is making a fuss over the missile attack and in retaliation has killed nine people in Sistan.
According to an ‘informed Iranian source’, “Tehran informed Islamabad about the attack but did not tell it to make the information public.”
Let us tell you that late on the night of January 16, Iran had attacked the bases of Sunni terrorist organization ‘Jaish-al-Adl’ located in Balochistan province in the Iran-Pakistan border area with missiles and drones.
Pakistan considered this against its sovereignty and in retaliation on Thursday carried out air strikes on the positions of ISIS terrorists and Baloch separatist organizations in Balochistan-Sistan area, in which 9 people were killed.
According to the report, a Telegram channel believed to be close to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps wrote on January 18, “The attack on terrorist targets in Pakistan required coordination with the Pakistani government, which was completed this week.”
“Today’s attack by Pakistan is also in line with the agreement that has taken shape and is a result of the determination of both countries to combat border terrorism and establish permanent border security,” it said.
The report also said that some Iranian journalists have suggested that the latest visit of Iranian presidential envoy to Afghanistan Hassan Kazemi-Qomi to Pakistan may be aimed at informing Islamabad in advance about an impending Iranian attack.
Although these reports have not been officially confirmed, the airstrikes conducted by both the countries on each other have increased the tension in the area.
Especially when there has been a long-running war in Gaza in response to Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel on October 7. Meanwhile, it is a matter of relief that both Iran and Pakistan have indicated their desire to reduce tension.
Pakistan’s caretaker prime minister, cabinet ministers and armed forces chiefs held a high-level meeting on Friday amid the ongoing standoff with Iran.
Just before this, the two neighboring countries agreed to repair relations that had deteriorated following their military attacks on each other’s territory.
Caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar chaired the National Security Council (NSC) meeting, a source said. The chiefs of the three armed forces, cabinet ministers and other officials were also present.
