Pakistan has said it launched a series of airstrikes on “terrorist hideouts” in southern Iran, claiming the “precision” operation neutralized several militants. The attack comes after Tehran acknowledged its own raids on another terrorist group based in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Iranian officials, cited by local media, said that explosions in the Sistan-o-Balochistan province had killed seven non-Iranian nationals, including three women and four children. Tehran has also demanded an “immediate explanation” from Pakistan about the strikes, Iranian broadcaster Press TV reported, citing an unnamed informed source.
Islamabad’s attack comes after Iran claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s missile and drone attacks on Pakistani Balochistan, which it said targeted the Jaish al-Adli terrorist group. At the time, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stressed that the attack had only targeted Iranian “terrorists” and not Pakistani citizens.
Iran’s operation, however, angered Pakistan, which recalled its ambassador to the country while warning Tehran of “serious consequences.”
Both strikes come at a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East, fueled by the Hamas-Israel conflict. Earlier this week, Iran also conducted strikes on what it described as an Israeli “espionage center” in Iraq – which landed near the US consulate – as well as Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) terrorists in Syria. The barrage came in response to two previous blasts in Iran that claimed the lives of dozens of people, according to Tehran.

1. Please dont make it about Shia-Sunni; don’t play into the hands of enemies of Islam and Pakistan. Muslims are like parts of one body, making each other whole. Any talk of division between Shia-Sunni goes against Islam
2. Iran acted irresponsibly, and Pakistan had to retaliate, but this situation must now be contained. Both brother countries should deescalate, sit down, and sort out this mess.
3. People from Iran and Pakistan should not engage in any hate speech against each other, especially the younger generation. This happened hastily; we must act calmly.

While Iran and USA are busy in cat fight for years. USA destroyed Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan but never touched Iran. Why? : Because Iran is USA's 2nd illegitimate child after Israel.
Iran never targets Israel directly and USA never targets Iran directly, only do worldly fights.

Muslim nations fighting each other masterminded by Bibi Netanyahu and his puppet nation, America.
@D1rectTaylorRepublican4mos4MO
Iran has done a strategic blunder by carrying out strikes against Pakistan. Now, for the first time since Iraq-Iran war, any country has carried out direct military strikes inside Iran. Image of Iran as regional power House has been shattered, which it created over decades

A strong sign here we should withdraw from the Middle East before World War III happens...
@SeafowlBrady4mos4MO
Do you think the Red Sea needs to stay open to support the western economy?
Factories in Europe are having to close due to the blockade.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
As things stand now, Europe's economy depends on it, which means I don't have much of an issue with Europe intervening down there. But we have the greatest oil reserves and natural resources of any country on the planet. We, unlike Europe, have the potential to be self-sustainable without depending on resources from the Middle East and Saudi Arabian oil, and we should stop pretending we don't. The reason these people are attacking our bases is justified and absolutely what one would expect. We set up dozens of military bases in independent and sovereign countries and then wonde… Read more
@9J6NV9V4mos4MO
I believe we should stay out of that mess
@9J7CPS54mos4MO
Why did they launch aristrikes and will this lead to further issues and will we step in.
@9J7CKSN4mos4MO
I think both of the countries are in the wrong and that we shouldn't be interviening with other world problems.
@9J74CHK4mos4MO
I believe in the two state solution and that Israel should leave the West Bank
@9J6K6FJ4mos4MO

@9J6J87Z4mos4MO

@9J6KS5B4mos4MO
i don´t look at the background why that happened.
@9J6K7YD4mos4MO
I just feel like it is the most important breaking news story.
@9J6RL2G4mos4MO
People are dying in iran , you don't think that something to talk about ?
@IndependentAlexandraGreen4mos4MO
Iran now would never make this mistake again in the future.
Earlier in February 2019, India miscalculated, too, when Pakistan shot down two Indian jets, captured their pilot Abhinandan.
Pakistan will never ever compromise on their dignity and sovereignty.

Pakistan-Iran All-Out War? Tehran Calls Out Islamabad's Lies On Civilian Deaths; Pak Envoy Summoned
@9J6NSRLWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
I think there are innocent people on both sides and we should not jump to defend Pakistan as we are.
@9J6M95T4mos4MO
I haven't done a lot of research on it but it seems dangerous.
@9J6LX67Republican4mos4MO
I hope they go to war and weaken each other
