Bad move from Iranian side. They could have opted for a joint operation with Pakistan .
 
Is this true. So pakistan was not taken in confidence.

will i get a medal and a plot on occupied land for my services?
I wd hv replied the same and thought of it.. but it is not the '..Siasat' forum. We shd avoid political rhetoric on other forums like Land Warfare etc.
I know political stability is related to defense/economy etc so you can mention in accordance with that.

RT is misleading. MOFA hasn't said that.
 
And there is a reason.. people bring army in each and every affair because they ARE involved in each and every afair.
Do you see people here asking Babar Azam for the retaliation? NO.. because that is not his job....
The problem is... the job this people belongs to ... dont like to be questioned.
Well it’s not exactly acceptable to go and carry out a covert attack and then claim it all over. When Yadav was going to be caught - they got him and brought him in. In this case you aren’t even when you can - going to kidnap the local IRGC commander and try him.

Your leadership is standing on thin ice with its chair - while enemies of Pakistan whom FOOLS support are happy to be coming back into power because an egoistic buffoon blew the best chance for progress - the economy is beyond tatters with private parts covered in gangrene boils exposed.. and institutions in general are acting like headless chickens trying to both peck and cajole each other.

Within all of that there are good people in the state machinery trying to keep it all working while everyone else hates them all regardless and wants to burn the dumpster down anyway.

So frankly why the hell should anyone act to anything at this point? Shehr e jana mein ba safa kaun hai?
Pakistan and Pakistanis are living on a razors edge of a wobbling reality and it doesn’t even bother them anymore because they’re polarized in ways they cannot even fathom - essentially dismantled as a nation in all but identity cards of which many are faked as Afghanis who end up shouting anti-Pakistan slogans at PTM rallies . Why should there be Maula Jatt type actions in such a scenario?

Whatever the seriously flawed individuals at the helm and then all the other combinations of average shabbirs and noorullahs can do they are.

Samajhetey kya ho apne aap ko saale do kori ki qaum.. nahin.. qaumien
 
It will be something symbolic. That way they can save face and not enter a protracted conflict with a friendly country.

But it has to be done no?

Something tit for tat like equivalent terrorists on the other side


I still don't get the Iranian rationale at this moment?

In order to re-establish the balance, it has to be:

- Large in scale of visual impact
- Needs to target an actual thing (BxA) for instance not some teela in the middle of nowhere
- Not done in coordination and/or agreement with Iran
- Needs to be well documented and undeniable

Anything short of that will be an exercise in futility.

CNN — Pakistan on Tuesday strongly condemned an Iranian airstrike inside its borders that killed two children, calling it an “unprovoked violation of its airspace” and warning of retaliation.

Iran said it used “precision missile and drone strikes,” to destroy two strongholds of the Sunni militant group Jaish al-Adl, known in Iran as Jaish al-Dhulm, in the Koh-e-Sabz area of Pakistan’s southwest Balochistan province, according to Iran’s state-aligned Tasnim news agency.

The attack comes after Iran launched missiles in northern Iraq and Syria Monday, in the latest escalation of hostilities in the Middle East where Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza risks spiraling into a wider regional conflict.

Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said the attack on its territory killed “two innocent children” and warned Iran of “serious consequences.”

It described the airstrike as an “unprovoked violation of its airspace by Iran … inside Pakistani territory.”

“It is even more concerning that this illegal act has taken place despite the existence of several channels of communication between Pakistan and Iran,” the ministry said.

Following the strike, nuclear-armed Pakistan lodged a “strong protest” with a senior official in Iran’s Foreign Ministry in the Iranian capital Tehran and called on the Iranian charge d’affairs, saying the “responsibility for the consequences will lie squarely with Iran.”

The Jaish al-Adl militant group late Tuesday said Iran’s Revolutionary Guards had used six attack drones and a number of rockets to destroy two houses where the children and wives of its fighters lived.

Authorities in Balochistan province told CNN two girls had died and at least four people were injured. The girls, aged eight and 12, were killed in houses that were damaged in the attack in the village of Koh-e-Sabz in Kulag, about 60 kilometers (37 miles) from Panjgur district, on Tuesday evening, according to the district’s deputy commissioner Mumtaz Khetran.

Khetran also said a mosque near the homes was targeted and hit in the strikes.

Koh-e-Sabz — about 50 kilometers (31 miles) from Pakistan’s border with Iran — is known to be the home of Jaish-ul-Adl’s former second-in-command Mullah Hashim, who was killed in clashes with Iranian forces in Sarawan, an Iranian region adjacent to Panjgur, in 2018.

Last month, Iran accused Jaish al-Adl militants of storming a police station in the Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchistan, which resulted in the deaths of 11 Iranian police officers, according to Tasnim.

Jaish al-Adl, or Army of Justice, is a separatist militant group that operates on both sides of the border and has previously claimed responsibility for attacks against Iranian targets. Its stated goal is the independence of Iran’s Sistan and Baluchistan province.

The strikes in Pakistan came a day after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards launched ballistic missiles, targeting what it claimed was a spy base for Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad in Erbil, northern Iraq, and at “anti-Iran terror groups” in Syria.

Iran said the strikes in Iraq were in response to what it said were Israeli attacks that killed Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders, and claimed targets in Syria were involved in the recent dual bombings in the city of Kerman during a memorial for the slain Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani that left scores dead and wounded.

It defended the strikes as a “precise and targeted” operation to deter security threats, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said in a statement on Tuesday.

Iran’s attacks will further raise fears that Israel’s war in Gaza could widen into a full-scale war in the Middle East with grave humanitarian, political and economic consequences.

The attacks in Iraq and Syria were condemned by the United States as “reckless” and imprecise, while the United Nations said, “security concerns must be addressed through dialogue, not strikes.”

Iraq said it submitted a complaint to the UN Security Council and the UN on Tuesday. Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said there are no Mossad-affiliated centers operating in Erbil in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.

Concerns of an escalating war​

Israel’s relentless bombing of Gaza in response to Hamas’ October 7 terror attacks has killed more than 24,000 people, according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health, and wrought widespread devastation, as civilians live with the threat of imminent death – either by an airstrike, starvation or disease.

The conflict has escalated hostilities across the region, with Iran’s allies and proxies – the so-called axis of resistance – launching attacks on Israeli forces and its allies.

On Tuesday, the US military launched new strikes against Houthi targets inside Yemen, targeting anti-ship ballistic missiles controlled by the Iran-backed rebel group, a defense official told CNN.

A few hours later, the Houthis launched a missile into international shipping lanes in the southern Red Sea, hitting the M/V Zografia, a Maltese flagged bulk carrier, the official said.

The strikes are at least the third round of attacks the US military has launched against the Houthis’ infrastructure since last Thursday, when American and British conducted a joint operation that targeted command and control nodes and weapons depots used by the Houthis to launch missile and drone attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.

US troops in Iraq and Syria have also repeatedly come under rocket and drone attacks from Tehran’s proxies. Last week, the US carried out a strike in Baghdad that killed a leader from an Iran-backed proxy group that Washington blamed for attacks against US personnel in the region.

And fighting has intensified between Israel and the powerful Iran-backed group Hezbollah, across the Lebanon border. On Sunday, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah vowed to press on with confrontations with Israeli forces on the Lebanon border until the end of the Israeli offensive in Gaza.

Based on what diplomatic currency?
this isn’t Newtons law - what “forex” account of diplomatic currency must be expended to achieve this?

The GCC is out - that ship has sailed. The US cares less at this point other than ensuring Afg is stable and the Taliban are talking directly there now through Qatar.. so that card is gone. India is priority uno for the west due to its massive economic potential to milk for profit and to contain China.. and frankly the nuckes were “secured” a while back.

There are other things in the vault but probably not to be thrown out because of their pandoras box nature - so what can Pakistan “play” to get support when it does this by majority on its side?
 
Its due to continued support to ISIS that pak provides on behest of US
The recent attacks on IRGC and people at funeral and on Afghanistan(irrespective of govt ashraf ghani /taliban) in past has pissed off Iran and Afghanistan big time. Hence you see Iran responding, Turkey is the pakistan of West asia (of course with brain) and knows the levels of escalation; does not radicalize people en-masse like pak does. It was big time coming for pak. These Jaish-ul-adl etc are nothing but branches of ISIS that's creating a middle east mess operated by ISI.
Source for this rubbish?
 
Totally unnecessary. Yes, this is an L for Pakistan but this is also a bigger L for Iran. Why create such a lose-lose situation and make enemies. Iran is not in a position to antagonize it neighbors. I don't know what the end game of this is. Get attention on Gaza? Or just wreck the economy in the region?(n)
