Pakistani Iran Row: Pakistan, which is continuously getting defeated on the economic front, is still not desisting from its antics. It is also trying to scare India through retaliatory action taken after Iran’s attack. Pakistan’s acting Prime Minister Anwarul Haq Kakar recently said that the way Pakistan responded to Iran, a clear message has been sent to India as well.
According to the report of Arab News, during a conversation with a news channel, Anwarul Haq Kakar said that Iran had recently violated our airspace by firing rockets at Pakistan. In such a situation, we were left with no other option but to respond to Iran. By retaliating, we have certainly given a strong message to India and the entire region that we will not compromise our sovereignty.
Iran had carried out air attack in Balochistan
Iran carried out an airstrike in Pakistan’s Balochistan province on January 16. He said that he had carried out this attack to target a terrorist organization. Pakistan had called it a violation of sovereignty and in response launched an airstrike on Iran the very next day. After this, relations between the two countries had become quite tense.
Pak PM said- the decision to take retaliatory action was not easy
In his interview, the Pakistani acting PM gave the credit to Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir for putting Iran on the backfoot. He said that when Iran attacked, we were not clear what to do. Our strategy regarding India is clear that if there is an attack from there, we will take immediate action, but there has never been any dispute with Iran. Therefore, it was not easy to take a decision in this matter. Iran’s air attack was completely wrong, due to which we had to take retaliatory action.
