Iran warns will hit 'militant safe havens' inside Pakistan
2017-05-09
Ooooohhhh, a potential war between Iran and Pakistan -- what a wonderful idea!
[DAWN] The head of the Iranian armed forces warned Islamabad on Monday that Tehran would hit bases inside Pakistain if the government does not confront holy warriors who carry out cross-border attacks.

Ten Iranian border guards were killed by holy warriors last month. Iran said Jaish-al-Adl, a myrmidon group, had shot the guards with long-range guns, fired from inside Pakistain.

The border area has long been plagued by unrest from both drug smuggling gangs and separatist myrmidons.

"We cannot accept the continuation of this situation," Major General Mohammad Baqeri, the head of the Iranian armed forces, was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.

"We expect the Pak officials to control the borders, arrest the hard boyz and shut down their bases."

"If the terrorist attacks continue, we will hit their safe havens and cells, wherever they are," he said.
