Even after all the censorship and spying on us, these useless PTA and government can't even stop an attack from script kiddies.

Because PTI is a fascist government and like any fascist government (Nazis, China) they spy on its people to control them and make them slaves.

if this was done on behalf of Iran then i condone it but if U.S networks stationed in PK were only targeted then it's okay if not then that was a bad move on an brother country

Whether or not only US assets were targeted...it is a bad move on Iran's part to target Pak. Pak has been friendly in some cases and mostly neutral towards Iran. So at the very least...Iran should return the favor. However repeatedly we find examples such as this...not long ago there was Kulbhushan Jadhav. If Iran keeps this up...soon they will find Pakistan added to a long list of Iran's enemies. Arabs and Americans would happily give Pak lots of money to let them use Pak's land against Iran. Iran should think carefully before trying such antics.

Honestly, as an Iranian, I don't know if this report is true or not, but assuming that it's true, I really hope they have stolen some nuclear information (particularly with military dimensions) too because Pakistan is ahead of us in nuclear technology and such information can be very useful for us in future.

No more...a heavy price has already been paid for helping Iran with its nuclear ambitions. Don't look to Pakistan for any help(whether by stealing or cooperation).
