Former foreign minister and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday endorsed Pakistan\u2019s strikes<\/a> in Iran after the western neighbour violated the country\u2019s airspace, saying the response was \u201cproportional and our right\u201d.<\/p>\n Iran on Tuesday had laun\u00adched attacks<\/a> in Pakistan targeting what it described as bases for the militant group Jaish al-Adl in the border town of Panjgur in Balochistan, Iranian state media reported, prompting strong condemnation from Islamabad and downgrading of diplomatic ties.<\/p>\n The Iranian strikes were part of a series of attacks carried out by Iran in recent days in Syria and Iraq as a response to recent terrorist attacks on its territory. They have heightened concerns about regional stability, particularly amid ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.<\/p>\n Earlier today, the Foreign Office and the Inter Services Public Relations said<\/a> military strikes were carried out against hideouts inside Iran used by terrorists responsible for recent attacks in Pakistan.<\/p>\n Questioned about Pakistan\u2019s response and the overall incident in an interview with Dawn News<\/em>, Bilawal condemned the Iranian violation and said, \u201cNo one should have the wrong idea that they can attack Pakistan or violate its sovereignty.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Pakistan\u2019s targeting of terrorist groups in Iran, our response was not only proportional but our right as a right to self-defence under international law.\u201d<\/p>\n
