Pakistan slams deadly Iranian strikes, recalls ambassador and blocks Tehran envoy • FRANCE 24

Pakistan recalled its ambassador from Iran Wednesday and blocked Tehran’s envoy from returning to Islamabad after an Iranian air strike killed two children in the west of the country a day earlier. Iranian news agency Mehrnews said the “missile and drone” attack targeted the Jaish al-Adl group’s headquarters in Pakistan, calling it “another decisive step taken by Iran in response to the aggression against the security of our country”. The raid came late on Tuesday after Tehran also launched attacks in Iraq and Syria against what it called “anti-Iranian terrorist groups”.
