Pakistan expels Iranian ambassador after air strike
2024-01-18
[GEO.TV] Following Iran's violation of Pak airspace, Islamabad Wednesday announced expelling the Iranian ambassador while recalling its envoy from Tehran.

"Pakistain has decided to recall its ambassador from Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and that the Iranian Ambassador to Pakistain who is currently visiting Iran may not return for the time being," Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said while addressing a press briefing in Islamabad.

The development comes after Tehran targeted the bases of, what it claimed was a terrorist organization — Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice) — inside Pak territory, "Green Mountain" with drones and missiles, and destroyed the headquarters of the said terrorist group, reported Iranian state media.

The attacks killed two children and injured three girls on the Pak side, as per the FO.

Calling it an "unprovoked and blatant" breach of Pakistain's illusory sovereignty by Iran, Islamabad termed the move as a violation of international law and the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
"This illegal act is completely unacceptable and has no justification whatsoever. Pakistain reserves the right to respond to this illegal act. The responsibility for the consequences will lie squarely with Iran," Baloch said.

'No country in region should tread this perilous path', Pakistan tells Iran after air strike

[GEO.TV] Caretaker Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani Wednesday told his Irani counterpart that no country should follow its path of launching an attack on a neighbouring nation's soil against the menace of terrorism unilaterally.

"No country in the region should tread this perilous path," Jilani told Iran’s FM Hossein Amir-Abdollahian during a telephone call hours after Tehran claimed it had targeted "terrorists" in Pakistain.

The attack killed two children and injured three girls on the Pak side.

Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, in a press briefing in Islamabad earlier in the day, said Pakistain had expelled Iran’s ambassador and called back its envoy in Tehran.

She also revealed that Islamabad has decided to suspend all high-level visits that were ongoing or were planned between Pakistain and Iran

in the coming days.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Hubba Hubba Club, Big Shirley was still trying to snatch Nunzio bald-headed. She was already halfway there...
during the phone call, FM Jilani firmly underscored that the attack conducted by Iran inside Pak territory was not only a serious breach of Pakistain’s illusory sovereignty but was also an egregious violation of international law and the spirit of bilateral relations.

Expressing Pakistain’s unreserved condemnation of the attack, he added that the incident has caused serious damage to bilateral ties between Pakistain and Iran.

The foreign minister added that Pakistain reserved the "right to respond to this provocative act".

Stressing that terrorism was a common threat to the region and required concerted and coordinated efforts to combat this menace, FM Jilani underlined that unilateral actions could seriously undermine regional peace and stability.

Tehran targeted the bases of, what it claimed was a terrorist organization inside Pak territory, "Green Mountain" with drones and missiles, and destroyed the headquarters of the said terrorist group, reported Iranian state media.

Grom,

Apparently the Pakistanis did punch back yesterday, but it's unclear just how hard. Stay tuned.
