Iran Launches Missile Strikes On Targets In Pakistan

 

Al-Monitor: Iran hits Pakistan with air strike, killing two children, in latest escalation of conflict in the region: Tehran carries out attack as world focuses on Gaza and Red Sea 

* Pakistani media said attack was near Panjgur in southwest Balochistan province 

* It comes less than a week after UK-US coalition struck Houthi targets in Yemen 

An Iranian strike on targets inside Pakistan killed two children and wounded three other people overnight, the Pakistani government has said, further stoking fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East. 

Pakistan's foreign ministry issued a statement confirming Tuesday's attack, which was first announced by Iranian media reports that were later withdrawn. 

Islamabad called the attack an 'unprovoked violation' of the country's airspace, with the strikes reportedly targeting bases of Sunni militant group Jaish al-Adl, and warned of 'serious consequences'.

It was missile strikes. More than the usual. It shows how weak Pakistan is.

Weak piss poor Pakistan, India would have responded 10 fold

Respond in the defense of a bunch of terrorists that they'd like to see killed just as much as the Iranians? The only reason they're upset is because their sovereignty was disrespected. If you flew a B2 over Islamabad and dropped a pallet of cash on them they'd still get upset for diplomatic reasons but they're not gonna do anything about it.

No Pakistani prime minister has completed a full term in office

Pakistan has had 29 prime ministers since 1947 – none completed a full five-year term.

Even more reason to be weak and puss poor , when you can do a conventional strike , whilst hiding behind your implied nuclear shield

Almost zero coverage in the nypost, daily mail, etc…
Anyone feel this story is maybe a shock and they are formulating their response? Pakistan is an ally, after all.
