An official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Iranian officials have been called to Pakistan for the condemnation of these attacks in Pakistan. The Ministry states that this is a total violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty.

Pakistan has been lodging an attack against terrorism for quite some time but such attacks can seriously harm the relations of both countries as there are many channels for communication and unprovoked attacks from a neighbourly country without clearance is unacceptable.

What does the Iranian Media Claim?

Iranian media has been claiming that they have targeted a terrorist base in Panjgur. The media claims that the base of terrorist group Jaish-al-Adl was attacked.

However, this has further escalated the tensions in the region as the region was already disturbed due to the Israel-Hamas war.

Moreover, the condition of the Arabia sea is already dire as the Navy has already deployed warships.

The Houthis have blocked the passing of any commercial ships to Israel which has also led the US and UK to attack Yemen.

However, after these reports, the Iranian media outlets, some of them removed these posts which increased the confusion further.

Where is Pangjur?

According to sources, a town connects the Iranian border with Pakistan by the name of Chedgi. This town is situated on the outskirts of Maskhel River.

In 2023, Prime Ministers of Pakistan and Iran inaugurated the Broader Market Sustenance Project to boost the revenues of businesses located in the region and increased trade between the two nations.

In earlier reports, the Revolutionary Guards of Iran stated that they have successfully brought down an “Israel Spy base” near the Kurdistan region.

However, the Elite Force stated that they actually made attacks in Syria as well.

These rising tensions have generated from October 7 after Palestinian group Hamas lodged an attack on Israel.

Afterwards, Israel has cut water and energy supply into Palestine in a massacre where they’ve killed more than 20,000 people including women and children.

Due to these escalating tensions, Iran and other muslim countries like Jordan, Syria, and Yemen have been retaliating.

One of the Headquarters of Mossad located in Iran was destroyed in an attack of Ballistic missiles.

Even though the report was not verified by International news outlets, Iran had taken a vow of revenge after 3 Iranian Guards were killed in Syria.

However, since October 7, 2023, conditions of the region have been dire and are moving towards war and destruction as Israel continues its genocide on Palestine.
