Iran strikes Pakistan killing two children
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] An Iranian strike on targets inside Pakistain have killed two children and maimed three other people, the Pak government has said.

Pakistain's foreign ministry issued a statement confirming Tuesday's attack, which was first announced by Iranian media reports that were later withdrawn.

It called the attack an 'unprovoked violation' of the country's airspace, with the strikes reportedly targeting bases of Sunni Death Eater group Jaish al-Adl.
The Army of Justice is a Salafi separatist group fighting for the independence of Sistan and Balochistan province in southeastern Iran, spilling over to the Pakistani side of the border. It split off from the anti-Shiite Jundallah jihadi group in Pakistan in 2012.
The attack further raises tensions in a Middle East already roiled by Israel's war on Hamas

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

It also threatens relations between Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

The foreign ministry statement said Pakistain strongly condemns the attack on its Balochistan

province.

It said: 'Pakistain strongly condemns the unprovoked violation of its airspace by Iran which resulted in death of two innocent children while injuring three girls.

'This violation of Pakistain´s illusory sovereignty is completely unacceptable and can have serious consequences.'

'Pakistain has always said terrorism is a common threat to all countries in the region that requires coordinated action.

'Such unilateral acts are not in conformity with good neighbourly relations and can seriously undermine bilateral trust and confidence.'

Two Pak security officials said the Iranian strikes damaged a mosque in Balochistan's Panjgur district, about 30 miles inside Pakistain from the Iranian border.

The foreign ministry said the three maimed were girls.

Balochistan has faced a low-level insurgency by Baluch nationalists for more than two decades.

Baluch nationalists initially wanted a share of provincial resources but later initiated an insurgency for independence.

Iran has long suspected Sunni-majority Pakistain as hosting murderous Moslems, possibly at the behest of its regional arch-rival Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage.

Iraq on Tuesday called the attacks, which killed several civilians, a 'blatant violation' of Iraq's illusory sovereignty and recalled its ambassador from Tehran.

#5 Tripwire to conflict? A prudent course of action would have us observe from a great distance, whilst they continue to relieve themselves on one another.

My standard foreign diplomacy response. Yes, I remain the master of non-interventionist redundancy.
