Pakistan recalled its ambassador from Iran and the Iranian ambassador to Pakistan, currently visiting Iran, will not be allowed to come back, a spokeswoman for Pakistan's foreign ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday (January 17) after Iran violated its airspace. "Pakistan reserves the right to respond to this illegal act. The responsibility for the consequences will lie squarely with Iran", spokesperson Zahra Baloch said in a statement read out on state-owned broadcaster PTV. Pakistan said the airspace violation on Tuesday (January 16), which Iranian state media said came as Iranian missiles targeted two bases of the militant group Jaish al Adl, had resulted in the deaths of two children. Iran's Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian said it hit militants in "missile and drone" strikes, saying no Pakistani national was targeted. Pakistan has not confirmed the nature of the violation, or the location of the strikes. Pakistan and Iran have in the past had rocky relations, but the strikes are the highest-profile cross-border intrusion in recent years.
