Iran's Foreign Minister Acknowledges Attack on Pakistani Soil, Resulting in the Deaths of Two Children

In a surprising disclosure on Wednesday, Tehran's Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, openly admitted that Iranian armed forces had conducted a targeted attack on what they referred to as an "Iranian terrorist group" operating within Pakistani territory.

The revelation took place during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where the foreign minister asserted that the strike did not target any Pakistani nationals.

Earlier today, Pakistan declared the recall of its ambassador from Iran and the suspension of all high-level visits between the two nations.

This decision followed what Pakistan termed as an "unprovoked violation of its airspace" by Iranian forces, resulting in the tragic deaths of two children and injuries to three girls.

While the exact location of the incident was not explicitly mentioned by the Pakistani Foreign Office (FO), Iranian state media reported that the attack occurred in the border town of Panjgur in Balochistan.

The FO denounced the strike as a blatant violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and a breach of international law, stressing that Iran would bear full responsibility for the consequences.

In response to the escalating diplomatic tensions, Pakistan has also requested the Iranian ambassador in Islamabad, currently visiting his home country, not to return.

The Foreign Office affirmed Pakistan's right to retaliate against what it considered an "illegal act" and emphasized the severity of the situation, stating that the breach of sovereignty was "completely unacceptable" and lacked any justification.
