“Pakistan States Air Strikes on Iran Today with a Singular Purpose…”
Pakistan has acknowledged conducting air strikes against militant targets in Iran in response to recent attacks on Pakistani territory by Tehran. According to Iranian media, the airstrikes resulted in the unfortunate deaths of four children and three women. Pakistan’s foreign ministry stated that the precise strikes targeted terrorist hideouts in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan province. The country also reported the elimination of several terrorists in the operation, which was codenamed ‘Marg Bar Sarmachar’.
This morning, Pakistan conducted a series of well-coordinated and targeted military strikes against terrorist hideouts in the Sistan and Baluchestan province of Iran, as part of the Intelligence-based operation codenamed ‘Marg Bar Sarmachar’. The operation resulted in the elimination of several terrorists.
Over the past few years, Pakistan consistently expressed concerns to Iran regarding safe havens for Pakistani-origin terrorists, known as Sarmachars, operating in ungoverned spaces within Iran. Despite sharing multiple dossiers containing concrete evidence, no effective action was taken, leading to continued attacks on innocent Pakistanis by these individuals. The decision to conduct today’s operation was based on credible intelligence indicating an imminent large-scale terrorist threat from the Sarmachars.
This action underscores Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to safeguard its national security against all threats, showcasing the professionalism of the Pakistan Armed Forces. While respecting Iran’s sovereignty, this operation was solely aimed at protecting Pakistan’s security and national interests, which are non-negotiable.
As a responsible member of the international community, Pakistan adheres to the principles of the UN Charter, including the respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty. Within the bounds of international law, Pakistan will not permit challenges to its sovereignty and territorial integrity under any circumstances.
Emphasizing the brotherly relationship with Iran, Pakistan maintains great respect and affection for the Iranian people. The focus remains on dialogue and cooperation to address shared challenges, particularly combating terrorism, with a commitment to finding joint solutions.
Pakistan conducted air strikes in response to Iran’s recent strikes on “terrorist targets” in Pakistan, which took place on Tuesday. Islamabad claimed that the attack by Iran resulted in the death of two children. The missile and drone assault specifically targeted the Jaish al-Adl group in Pakistan, as reported by Iran.
