There are so many threads being opened on this same topic. But whenever we articulate the Iranian position they all just run away and open a new thread on the same topic with more empty puffery and heads buried under the dirt.
This issue is really not that complicated, so i repost here.
If Iranians are really serious in securing their remaining 13 guards, then they should immediately offer talks to this Jaish-adal group without fail & engage them sincerely. Otherwise, she keep threatening in futility to Pakistan just for point scoring forever & this would really expose her how cruel as a republic she is......playing on the bloods of their own countrymen.........Pathetic!!
Offer talks to who? You think these people have an office or phone number that can be used to arrange a meeting? They are faceless cross-border terrorists that operate out of lawless Pakistani Balouchistan. They have already uploaded a statement onto the web listing their demands, all of which are unrealistic and were designed to be so.
There are only two options left.
1) Pakistan reaffirms control over its own 'territory', dismantles terrorist safe havens in their country and sends its police force to find and arrest these people and transfer them to Iran for prosecution.
or
2) Pakistan admits that it has no control over its own territory and so accepts an Iranian military operation within the so-called Pakistani territory near our borders to clear them of criminal and terrorist save havens that Pakistani police should have confronted themselves.
These are the demands that Iranian officials have made to Pakistan.
These Iranian guards are abducted from where???????? IRAN ???......
They were conscripts posted at the border with Pakistan with no means to defened themselves. I have seen the video of their abduction released by Jeash al-Adl and they were staying out in the middle of no where in just a tent. The Adl terrorists had crossed the border into Iran from Pakistan and taken our people at gun point back into Pakistan.
Of course, the Iranians overseeing the deployment and welfare of these men have been accused of gross negligence. Some have already been dismissed and appropriate reprimands and punishments will be handed out to officials on our side that have been accused of negligence.
Now, the bigger problem for us is that Iranian forces have not penetrated the Pakistani side of the border to eliminate the terrorist and criminal sanctuaries that exist on that side. We have been waiting for the Pakistanis to clean-up their side of its lawlessness for a long time, but they have not done so.
And for your information, the IRGC Qod's force will now be deployed on the Iranian side and i expect that they will start a military sweep of the area. But without police action or a military operation on the Pakistani side, which so far the Pakistanis have consistently failed to do even when asked several years ago, the cross-border terrorism will no doubt continue. This is unacceptable to Iranians, hence, why there is so much criticism against Pakistan.
We dont know anymore if it is just Pakistan's weakness and ineptitude to exert control over its territory along its borders with Afghanistan or Iran, or if there is complicity with Taliban and other terrorists from the Pakistani establishment. We knew for at least 15 years that this latter view was the Afghan position on Pakistan, but Iran never officially or publicly endorsed this view. But i see that changing very quickly now because Iranians have finally had enough with terrorism from Pakistan.
