MILITARY NEWS WORLD NEWS BREAKING NEWS: Unconfirmed Reports of Pakistan’s Strike Against Iran – What We Know So Far BY NEWSTEAM 1 HOUR AGO SHARE POST 3 MIN Islamabad, Pakistan – Unconfirmed reports have emerged regarding a series of Pakistani raids using ballistic missiles, fighter jets, and artillery targeting terrorist group bases inside Iran as a response to its recent missile attacks.

This development, if true, could mark a significant escalation in cross-border tensions. These reports, which surfaced a few hours ago, suggest that the Pakistani Air Force may have conducted operations against groups it holds responsible for instigating unrest in Pakistan. According to various Pakistani sources, the alleged air raids were centered near the city of Saravan in Eastern Iran, in the Sistan and Baluchistan province, approximately 20 miles from the Pakistan-Iran border. The supposed targets were Baloch fighter camps, possibly including the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and the Baloch Liberation Front (BLF). However, these claims remain unverified, without official confirmation from either the Pakistani or the Iranian government.

"Only one side has nukes."

We don't know that. I doubt that Pakistan would risk a retaliatory strike now or when Iran does get the bomb.

"They could do the world a favor if they nuked Tehran."

They could do the world a favor by effecting regime change in Iran. I don't think nuking Tehran would necessarily achieve this.

“I sure didn’t see that coming.”

Oh, heavens, the Baloch’s have been at it with the Iranians for decades at least. But, this is really sort of a (common in the ME) 3-way fight. Iran’s bloody crackdown on the Baloch insurgency has not been enough, in the Paks’ view.

This is not really Pak vs. Iran. A closer comparison (not that close) would be if the US hit drug cartels in Mexico.

See my post 43 below and links therein.

Golly, at least one other person (you) on this thread has some idea what’s going on! :-)

However, Iran has actually cracked down on the Baluchi separatists pretty hard. Just not hard enough to satisfy the Paks.

That’s a reference to descendants of Ishmael— that is Arabs.

Neither Iran, nor Pakistan , are Arab countries.

I’m waiting breathlessly for international organizations to condemn this disproportionate response.

That’s because DJT starved them from their goals- so to speak. But now, Biden has fed then piles of cash and all that pent up rage is coming out.

........I think the following age old comment is applicable in this case for America.

.........”the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

Just to be clear, “to hell with Iran”.

No great loss as long as the weapons remain contained for use in Iran and Pakistan.

we should not “support” either — let them all fight and we sit and watch.

I don’t even agree with supporting the losing side - we would only create another Mujahideen.

True, but the RELIGION of the Arabs has affected these other folks.

Iran made the mistake of picking on someone that’s crazier than they are. 😏

Iran really seems to have gone off the rails. It's like Hitler attacking every country in sight.

I agree. The problem is that we are repeating the mistakes of the '30s. We would rather not deal with Iran.

I understand that it's not pleasant to deal with Iran right now.

But we didn't want to deal with Nazi Germany back then and we paid the price for it later.

I guess the same thing will happen with Iran.

Maybe Pakistan will nuke Iran? a dozen a-bombs—even small ones, would do the job and end Iran as a nation. The Pakistanis have them. Israelis would cheer and after the war, there will be world peace! Without Iran no more problems on Earth.
