Pakistan expels Iran ambassador, recalls envoy from Tehran after Iranian airstrikes

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 17 January 2024
Pakistan expelled the Iranian ambassador on Wednesday and withdrew its envoy from Tehran in response to Iran's missile and drone strikes targeting purported terror bases within Pakistani territory on Tuesday. These actions have the potential to further escalate an already highly tense situation in the West Asia region. Notably, the recent attack marked the most significant Iranian incursion into Pakistani territory. The airstrikes in Panjgur, in Pakistan’s restive border district with Iran in southwestern Baluchistan province, Tehran said, were aimed at the armed group Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice).

Iran Vows to Crush Israel & U.S | IRGC Troops On Standy-By As Hezbollah Gears Up for Total War

Iran has vowed to fully support Hezbollah if Israel launches a large-scale attack on the Lebanese group. However, Iran's foreign affairs adviser Kamal Kharrazi emphasizes that Tehran is not seeking a regional war. This stance reflects Iran's complex role in the 'axis of resistance' against US and Israeli influence. The situation stems from the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, which has heightened regional tensions. While Iran pledges support, it prefers to avoid direct military confrontation, instead relying on allied militant groups if retaliation becomes necessary. #IsraelHamaswar #IsraelGazawar #Hezbollahwar #HezbollahAttack #Tehran #IranHezbollah #IsraelGazawar #Worldnews #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~PR.320~ED.103~HT.318~
