Iran says it is fully ready for joint anti-terror operations with neighboring Pakistan after terrorists killed six Pakistani troops in an ambush near their joint border Friday.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi strongly condemned the attack on a border checkpoint in Pakistan's Balochistan province.

He also expressed condolences to the Pakistani government and people as well as the families of the victims and those wounded in the terrorist attack.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, Qassemi said, is fully ready to take part in any joint campaign “against the evil phenomenon of terrorism in all its forms and shapes in the region,” IRNA reported.

Six Pakistani soldiers were killed when a paramilitary convoy came under attack by gunmen during a routine patrol in the mountainous district of Kech on Friday.

Pakistan authorities said some 30 militants attacked the Frontier Corps convoy, also wounding 14 soldiers.

The separatist Pakistani group the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the attack, which also left four attackers killed in the shootout.

The shooting took place in the mountainous district of Kech.
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said Saturday it had lodged a protest with Iran over the killing of the troops. It summoned Iran's ambassador to demand it take action against the armed group responsible for the attack.

In the past, Iran has repeatedly announced its readiness for joint operations with Pakistan from where militants launch cross-border attacks against Iranian troops and civilians.

Last month, Iran's Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani-Fazli called for intelligence sharing between the two neighbors as he suggested Iranian operations on Pakistani soil under Islamabad’s supervision.

The proposal came after 12 Iranian border guards were abducted near the town of Mirjaveh in Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province and taken into Pakistan in April.

Five of the guards were released last month, but the rest of them still remain in captivity despite Pakistan's repeated promises to have them freed.

Eleven Iranian border guards were killed in an ambush claimed by the Jaish ul-Adl terrorist group near Mirjaveh in April 2017, with the assailants fleeing into Pakistan after the attack.

First RIP to Pakistanis soldiers.

Pakistan should understand some evil forces outside of our countries are behind these attacks and want to harm our countries. The best that we can is closing their embassies and kick all of their diplomata out.

we already did this and closed both of KSA and USA spy houses and kick all of them out. Pakistan can do same and arrest all of their spies then it can see how it's country will become safe.

I don't have doubt that current attacks in Pakistan toward Iran are under American/Saudi command control, and Iranian and Pakistanis soldiers are sacrificing their lives to halt their evil plan against Iran and Pakistan.

 

[Tokhme khar]

Back in the 70's we cooperated with Pakistan to kill these chaghu kesh, loch, kharab kar, drug dealer type terrorist people.

Sounds like another joint operation is required here.

These harami people are killing innocent people because of foreign funding! We will act whether the US and sawdi's like it or not.

Time to start killing some terrorists.

 

[Maxpane]

Yeah cordination is the need of the time

 

[Path-Finder]

Good, it affects both countries so let's cooperate.

 

[Tokhme khar]

They are foreign funded! When we catch them and hang them upside down for a few days, then they tell us the suitcase full of dollars was provided by...........you know who!

Yeah cordination is the need of the time

 

[Max]

i dont think Pakistanis would ever like foreign soldiers on Pakistani soil. the best bet should be to improve border infrastructure aka wall or fence mutually funded, cooperation in surveillance/intelligence etc. this blame game is getting dirtier day by day.

They are foreign funded! When we catch them and hang them upside down for a few days, then they tell us the suitcase full of dollars was provided by...........you know who!

Yes enemy wants to create mistrust between two brotherly nations

 

[Crystal-Clear]

fence and mine the border deploy snipers . and break the smuggler's network with in the country .

 

[Umair Nawaz]

wasnt this Irani based Kulbhushan Yadav, the Symbol of Indo-Iran friendship was the one in charge of BLA?

And now Pakistan has made it clear that these 30 or so BLA terrorists came from Iran itself where its strategic ally India is operating the Chahbahar port?

 

[BHarwana]

Great Pakistan and Iran should cooperate on anti terrorism because we both are losing our men to these India and Israel sponsored terrorist.

yes kalbushan network. He confessed helping these elements.

 

[Big Tank]

Joint Operation both In Iranian and Pakistani region by Iran-Pak Army is required! We hosted American Seals, CIA and Mercs in Pakistan for long during Pro Zionist Musharraf, Zardari and Nawaz Govt.

 

[waz]

Pakistan and Iran should both beef up their forces in the border region and then saturate assault both sides to rid the lands of these filthy elements.

They are foreign funded! When we catch them and hang them upside down for a few days, then they tell us the suitcase full of dollars was provided by...........you know who!

100% these are shekel taking paid mercenaries who need to be destroyed.

Explain this!

Protest lodged with Iran over attack on FC patrol


“The Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan was called to the Foreign Office to lodge a strong protest against the ghastly incident. The government of Iran was urged to carry out effective operation against the terrorist group responsible for the attack on its side of the border,” the FO said in a statement.

Question is, if Iran is unwilling to conduct operation is its soil, what options are available to Pakistan.

It seems Iranian deep state is run by immatures high on silly glory promise. They must look up north, to understand the consequences of rubbing Pakistan wrong way.
