QUETTA: A Frontier Corps (FC) soldier was killed and three others were critically wounded by unprovoked firing by Iranian border guards inside Pakistani territory in Tehsil Mand area – a town bordering Pakistan with Iran.

“A soldier embraced martyrdom and three other personnel were wounded,” a spokesperson said in a statement issued on Friday evening.

“The FC personnel were chasing miscreants when they came under attack by Iranian forces. It was a targeted attack on Pakistani forces,” the spokesperson added. One FC vehicle was completely destroyed due to intense firing by Iranian forces.

Iranian border guards continued firing for six hours. However, Pakistani forces did not retaliate to the offensive of the neighbouring country.

“It is a clear border violation and [against] international law. It is also against the Pak-Iran border agreement,” the spokesperson said. “The firing started on late Thursday night and continued on Friday,” he added.

The spokesperson further said Iranian border guards on Friday trespassed two kilometers inside Pakistani territory in Nokundi area of Chagai district in Balochistan and harassed residents of the area.

Iranian forces raided the house of a suspected Lashkar-e-Ahb militant in Ghaus Baksh Notezai in a village in the Chagai district and took away a vehicle and some items.

“The Iranian forces had taken away a vehicle and other [items] from the house,” an FC spokesperson said.

Inspector General Frontier Corps (FC) Ejaz Shahid said Pakistani forces will answer any Iranian attack in the future.

“Pakistani forces will respond to Iranian forces in the future if they invade or carry out any attack on Pakistani territory,” he said.

On Thursday, Iran issued a veiled threat to Pakistan of possibly crossing the border to contain terrorists if Pakistan fails protect its border and stop terrorists from entering Iran, Iranian state media reported.

It said Iranians will chase terrorists wherever they are found inside Pakistani territory.

But why so ? Because our Forces did not fire back ?


IGFC Ejaz Shahid states any future incursion or firing by Iran will be met with retaliation. Though I've said it before it is Pakistan's responsibility to make sure it guards it's borders, and to prevent any actors on it's side of the border launching cross-border attacks in the neighboring country.

What? We can't open another front of war with our most peaceful border country? Are you nuts?
No, just tell them we have upper hand, which we do. Tell me, what is Iran going to fight with? F-16s and JF-17s can bomb them into submission. The only problem is, just because of this 'peaceful neighbor' non-sense, PAF never established a base near Iran, full time. The main bases are at Shahbaz or Quetta.

No, bad call! Problem is not Iranians, Afghans or Indians, but Pakistani illegitimate government of Noora Sharif that is incapable of doing anything but Noora Kushti!


No Sir, although it has a lot to do with illegitimate Noora govt, but it also has a lot to do with army's policy towards Iran. If I'm not wrong, this is 3rd or 4th such provoking action from Iranian side this year. Just one befitting response from our side and they will shut this rear holes once and for all. But we haven't replied to them till date.

Last time they did such things, we didn't even issued a statement via ISPR or Foreign Office (if I'm not wrong). :hitwall:

Why there is always unprovoked firing against Pakistan?Something is fishy here or you can say Daal mein kuch kala hai...Gop needs to solve these issues for the betterment of the region Asap.

The main reason is anti-Shia terror terror groups targeting Iranian guards and Pakistan doing nothing about it.

There in lies a key problem, for 6 hours Iranian border guards were firing and FC didn't retaliate? Someones head should roll for this.

There is lot of confusion at this time. A thorough investigation would determine the facts more clearly

errr... not really. The Iranian border is not looked at as hostile, and neither are Iranian forces. The Iranians don't have any territorial disputes with Pakistan either.

Do you honestly think the response from the Pakistani side, to any "raid" from the Indian side, is going to in any way be similar to the response on the Iranian border?
untill it actually happens who knows,,,all we can do is speculate...
nevertheless it will be interesting to see how u respond,,,u already shown some restraint by not firing back,,lets see how mature u guys r n how u tackle this.....it will be a nice study of PA behavior
