DUBAI, Feb 16 - Iran warned neighboring Pakistan on Saturday it would "pay a heavy price" for allegedly harboring militants who killed 27 of its elite Revolutionary Guards in a suicide bombing near the border earlier this week, state television reported.

Revolutionary Guards chief Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari also accused Tehran's regional rival Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates of supporting militant Sunni groups that attack Iranian forces, saying they could face "reprisal operations."

Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE deny backing such militants.
"Why do Pakistan's army and security body ... give refuge to these anti-revolutionary groups? Pakistan will no doubt pay a high price," Jafari said in remarks live on state television.

Jafari was addressing a large crowd gathered for the funeral of the victims of Wednesday's suicide bombing, which took place in a southeastern region where security forces are facing a rise in attacks by militants from the country's Sunni Muslim minority.
"Just in the past year, six or seven suicide attacks were neutralized but they were able to carry out this one," Jafari told the mourners, who packed a square in the central city of Isfahan and roads leading to it.
The Sunni group Jaish al Adl (Army of Justice), which says it seeks greater rights and better living conditions for the ethnic minority Baluchis, claimed responsibility for the attack.
"The treacherous Saudi and UAE governments should know that Iran's patience has ended and we will no longer stand your secret support for these anti-Islam criminals," Jafari said.
"We will avenge the blood of our martyrs from the Saudi and UAE governments and ask the President (Hassan Rouhani) ... to leave our hands free more than ever for reprisal operations," Jafari told the crowd, drawing chants of "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest).

Iran's Shi'ite Muslim authorities say militant groups operate from safe havens in Pakistan and have repeatedly called on the neighboring country to crack down on them.

Jafari's remarks came amid heightening regional tensions after Israel and the Gulf Arab states attended a summit in the Polish capital Warsaw this week where the United States hoped to ratchet up pressure against Iran.

Wa waaa,, too much apologic for iran. Any special love for them.

India=Iran = read the headlines...

yes a little Respect for iran is there for every pakistani. our prime miniser said a month back Iran is a brotherly country. so for brotherly countries a bit of love is also okay.

not to mention Israel and Saudi Arabia would very much like pakistan to be Anti Iran. we can't afford to be enemies to iran.

there is a delicate balance in the middle east. israel and saudi arabia are trying to upset this balance. we Pakistan are a very very big factor and force. if we side with iran balance gets effected and if we side with israeliz and saudiz the balance still gets effected.

we can't be enemies of iran. but we also have to keep a distance as we can't be too friendly towards them as well. because of their indian ties.

therefore we have to be careful towards Iran but not enemies.

Lol fucking iranian should first take revenge against Israel before speaking about Pakistan . After every 10 days they attack their assets in Syria. Last time they killed 51 iranian revolutionary guards.

Now a days India, Iran and Afghanistan are having digestive problems due to heavy foreign investment coming into pakistan. So middle finger to you all

Wonder who will Israel support if Tensions get high between Iran and Pakistan .. Who do you think Israelis hate more ? Pakistani or Iranians ?

Israel will most defnitely support pakistan against iran. but the thing is. it is in the benefit of Israel if pakistan and iran are enemies.

look what they did to syria and iraq with saudi arabiaz help. divided they fell. look at how pathetic they are now. cant even defend themselves.

Iran and pakistan can't be enemies. iran is very fragile. they can't afford Pakistan as enemies.

also pakistan is also very fragile these days especially since india wants aggression as well.

we can't be enemies of iran not now , not ever.

iranian and indians apperantly are holding an airforce excercise in Chabhar as response to this.

time for saudi airforce f18's and Pak jf-17s should be deployed at the iranian border. i think then they will understand
 
. .
In imaginary scenario, when there's hostilities between Iran and Pakistan, and Israel HAS to choose side, ofcourse we'll choose to help Pakistan.
But it won't come to that

Interesting , but I agree it won't come to that ..

We can't but Friendship is based on Respect and Mutual Trust which right now Iranians lack for Pakistan , Last year we shoot down their drone, maybe this year we may down their Fighter jet .
