Pakistan recalled its ambassador to Iran

Islamabad recalled its ambassador to Tehran after Iran launched missile strikes on Pakistani territory. A source in Pakistani intelligence said that all options are being considered to respond to this attack.

Islamabad has recalled its ambassador to Tehran after Iran launched a missile attack on its territory, Anadolu reports, citing a statement from the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Iran's unjustified and flagrant violation of Pakistan's sovereignty last night is a violation of international law and the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter." This illegal action is absolutely unacceptable and has no basis. Pakistan reserves the right to respond to this illegal act. Iran is fully responsible for the results ," the report said.

It is noted that this message was delivered to the Iranian government. It was also said that the Iranian ambassador to Pakistan, who is currently in Iran, will not return yet.

It has also been decided to suspend all ongoing or planned high-level visits between Pakistan and Iran.

Anadolu Agency's source in Pakistan's intelligence informed that all options are being considered to respond to the attack on Baluchistan province.

The sources said that Pakistan did not react hastily to the Iranian attack, but pointed to the response given to India in response to the Balakot attack in February 2019, and noted that Islamabad was good at " retaliating ".

It should be noted that on January 17, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps launched an attack on the main base of the terrorist group "Jaish al-Adl" ("Army of Justice") located in the Baluchistan region of Pakistan, which borders Iran, using ballistic missiles and drones. The Pakistani side reported that 2 children were killed and 3 children were injured in this attack.
