Iran condemns Pakistan's precision military strikes on its territory close to the border

• Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned Pakistan's precision military strikes "against “terrorist hideouts" on non-Iranian villagers near their shared border, calling it "unbalanced and unacceptable." The statement comes amid the retaliation airstrikes between the two nations targeting each other's alleged terrorist hideouts.
• Iran's Foreign Ministry asserted its adherence to the policy of good neighbourliness and brotherhood with Pakistan, while emphasizing that it considers its people's security and territorial integrity a red line. The statement also demanded Pakistan uphold its responsibility in preventing terrorist groups from operating on its soil.
• This latest development follows Pakistan's drone attack, codenamed "Marg Bar Sarmachar," which it claimed targeted terrorists in retaliation for Iran's previous strike against a militant group in Balochistan. Nine casualties have been reported till now, further fueling the escalating tensions.
• The incident underscores the long-standing, complex relationship between Iran and Pakistan, often marred by cross-border infiltration and accusations of harboring terrorist groups.
