Pakistan on Thursday requested Iran to show “restraint” and “avoid” actions that could escalate tensions between the two neighbors, sources said.
Pakistan’s message to Iran came after it carried out strikes against “terrorist hideouts” in the Iranian province of Siestan-o-Baluchistan. The retaliatory strikes came days after Iran attacked “terrorist targets” in Pakistan, an attack that Islamabad claimed killed two children.
“Pakistan has appealed to Iran to exercise restraint and not to take any further steps which may worsen the situation,” sources said.
