Iran holds Pakistan accountable for terrorist attacks in Saravan

TEHRAN- The Iranian interior ministry has held Islamabad accountable for the terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of several policemen in Southeastern Iran recently.

"We don’t expect the Pakistani government to allow the terrorist operations will be held against Iran from the Pakistani soil," Interior Ministry Spokesman Hossein Ali Amiri told reporters in Tehran.

He called on the Iranian foreign ministry to take more active measures in contacts with Islamabad to make the Muslim neighboring state in order not to allow their country become a launch pad for terrorist operations against Iran.

Yet, the spokesman said the terrorist attacks did not have any military value as they were only some hit-and-run operations by the terrorists who sneak into Iran from a neighboring state, carry out terrorist operations and then escape to the same country.


Amiri called for Pakistan's serious cooperation in preventing terrorists' infiltration into the Iranian soil, and said, "The Pakistani government should be held accountable for the terrorist operations."

Four Iranian police officers, including a conscript, were killed in two terrorist attacks on a border post in the Southeastern province of Sistan and Balochistan. The tragic event took place on Wednesday and Thursday in the vicinity of the
city of Saravan near the border with Pakistan. "We are now trying to identify the terrorists," Iranian Police Chief Brigadier General Esmayeel Ahmadi Moqaddam told an Iranian news agency.

Stressing that Tehran would protest with Pakistan for its tax control over the bordering areas with Iran, he said, "This is not acceptable that the terrorists use Pakistan's soil to hit Iran." "Anyway, preventing such incidents is their responsibility," Ahmadi Moqaddam stressed.

The second terrorist raid came less than 24 hours after the first one. Police have launched a probe to identify the perpetrators of the terror attack. Sistan and Balochistan Province has been the scene of a number of terrorist attacks in recent years, after Western Pakistan became a terrorist hub for various anti-Islamabad and anti-Iran militant groups
 
Who has the higher authority in Iran, the Interior Ministry or a Police Brigadier General?
 
I agree with @Horus
they should not mess up their relationship with Pak ...
 
Reviving an old thread to start a Pakistani and Iranian fight?
Not really, But I know Pakistani Hazaras who have gotten their right to identity cards taken from them. (NADRA refuses to give them IDs) It's quite a hassle to live in Pakistan as a Mongol, considering that everyone can see you're a Mongol and automatically thinks you're an Alien.
(I wasn't starting a fight, I was simply saying that nobody Is perfect and Horus's point was not very valid -No offense, Horus)
 
I'm sure Pakistan doesn't treat its Shias like their citizens.

Pakistan is the only Sunni majority country that elects Shia heads of state. Unlike a 'Shia' Iran, the Pakistani state is non theocratic, nor it gives any special or ill treatment to any particular sect. Shias are not the only ones getting killed by TTP, a vast majority of terrorism victims are Sunnis.
