Iran has launched airstrikes on Pakistan territory, apparently aimed at a Sunni militant group, in the latest sign of a wave of violence rolling across the Middle East and beyond.
Pakistan’s foreign ministry said two children were killed and three others were injured (…)
Pakistan nuking Iran as a first act of WW3 was not on my bingo card
Surprise!!
Iran been wildin
The US bombed the crap out of Pakistan and got away with it. Iran somehow thinks the same rules apply to them.
At that time Al-Qaeda and the Taliban were hiding along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan, and from the wikipedia article:
Pakistan’s government publicly condemned these attacks. However, it also allegedly allowed the drones to operate from Shamsi Airfield in Pakistan until 21 April 2011. According to leaked diplomatic cables, Pakistan’s Army Chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani not only tacitly agreed to the drone flights, but in 2008 requested that Americans increase them.
I doubt Iran has a secret agreement to operate drones within Pakistan.
Pakistan’s government took our money, promised to fight terrorism, denied it in public, all while their military (who actually ran the country) supported the Taliban as a proxy force.
The only thing Trump ever did that I agreed with was suspending “aid” to Pakistan.
I doubt Iran has a secret agreement to operate drones within Pakistan.
That you know of.
Given their history of hostilities. Hell has a better chance of freezing over than a secret agreement existing.
Pakistan views separatists in Balochistan as a problem as well.
