Pakistan has expelled the Iranian ambassador and recalled its own envoy following a contentious air strike by Iran on Jaish al-Adl militant bases in Balochistan. The strike, deemed an "illegal and unacceptable act" by Pakistan's foreign ministry, triggered a diplomatic crisis between the two nations. Pakistan asserts the right to respond, condemning the breach of sovereignty. The international community, including China, urges restraint to prevent further escalation. Tensions rise amidst broader regional conflicts, with Iraq also criticizing Iran's actions. The consequences of this unfolding situation remain uncertain, casting a shadow over diplomatic relations in the volatile region.
