Shocking the world, Iran carried out a surgical strike in the mountainous parts of Pakistan on 16 January 2024.
Pakistan was also surprised by this air strike of Iran. After this attack by Iran, relations between the two countries have started deteriorating.
Pakistan strongly condemned the attack, recalled its ambassador from Iran and expelled the Iranian ambassador.
On the other hand, Iran has claimed that it targeted the bases of Pakistani terrorist organization Jaish al-Adl, which has become a headache.
Iran says that it was asking Pakistan for action against this organization for four years. Now because the dam of patience has broken, he had to launch air strikes.
Kulbhushan was kidnapped by this organization
In March 2016, the terrorist organization Jaish-e-Adal, which had made inroads into Pakistan, kidnapped Indian citizen Kulbhushan Jadhav from Chahbar, Iran.
After this incident, this terrorist organization came on the radar of Indian security agencies.
Sources also say that after kidnapping, it handed over Kulbhushan to Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI.
After this, Pakistan made a move against India and put Kulbhushan in jail, accusing him of being an Indian spy. A case was filed against him. Due to this, relations between India and Pakistan became quite tense.
Pakistan upset with surgical strike
This terrorist organization of Pakistan once again came into limelight when Iran carried out air strikes on two bases of this organization on Tuesday. Iran says it has struck a terrorist group in western Pakistan in a missile attack.
Iranian state TV said two targets linked to the terrorist group Jaish al-Adl in Baluchistan were targeted. On the other hand, Pakistan has become angry over Iran’s action.
Its officials said two children were killed and three others were injured in the attack. Islamabad said the airstrike was an “illegal act”. He warned Iran that this could have “serious consequences”.
Pakistan expressed anger
Iran’s air attack is shocking for Pakistan because just before the attack, Iran’s Foreign Minister had met Pakistan’s caretaker PM in Davos.
Pakistan is surprised that there was no communication between the two countries in this regard and Iran directly carried out the air attack.
Pakistan is definitely angry with Iran’s attack, it first recalled its ambassador from Iran and then expelled the Iranian ambassador and sent him back.
Experts believe that Pakistan is definitely angry but it will not stand in front of a strong country like Iran. Therefore he has taken this step to compensate.
Where did things go wrong between Iran and Pakistan?
Both Iran and Pakistan are Muslim nations. According to BBC report, Iran was the first country to recognize Pakistan as a nation after its separation from India.
Iran itself opened the first ambassador to Pakistan. Iran’s attacks inside Pakistan are disturbing.
Experts on the issue in Pakistan say that in the war between Israel and Hamas, Iran is attacking Muslim countries instead of supporting the Palestinians.
It bombed Iraq and Syria on Monday. The very next day there was an air strike on Pakistan.
Relations between Iran and Pakistan have been tumultuous. Iran was also angry at Pakistan for supporting the Taliban government in Afghanistan.
Now Iran has vented its anger on Pakistan in the name of Jaish-al-Adl terrorist organization. Iran alleges that the terrorist organization has been carrying out planned attacks on it for a long time.
The organization has also openly taken responsibility for attacks on Iran several times. Iran is also angry with Pakistan because despite repeated requests, Pakistan did not take any action against the organization.
