Pakistan Warns Iran Of 'Serious Consequences' After Accusing Tehran Of Violating Airspace And Killing 2 Children With Missiles

In a recent development, Pakistan has accused Iran of violating its airspace, leading to the tragic deaths of two children. This incident follows Iran’s missile strikes on two bases of the militant group Jaish al Adl, as reported by Iranian state media.

What Happened: The Pakistani government has accused Iran of violating its airspace, resulting in the deaths of two children, Reuters reported. The alleged violation occurred shortly after Iranian state media announced missile strikes on two Jaish al Adl bases on Tuesday.

Pakistan’s foreign office spokesperson issued a statement early Wednesday, warning of “serious consequences” and deeming the incident “completely unacceptable.” The statement also revealed that Pakistan had lodged a protest with Tehran and summoned the head of the Iranian mission in Islamabad to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Iran’s foreign ministry has not yet commented on the incident.

Why It Matters: This incident adds to a series of escalations involving Iran. Just a day before, Iran launched a missile attack on a site in Iraq, which it alleged to be an Israeli espionage base. This marked Iran’s direct involvement in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Amid the ongoing conflict in Israel, the militant group Hamas has been reportedly fighting with an array of weapons sourced from Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea. Despite a 17-year blockade aimed at stopping military accumulation, Hamas has gathered a diverse set of weaponry from around the world, effectively employing them in urban warfare in Gaza.
