In the wake of missile strikes between Iran and Pakistan, Iran has summoned Pakistan's charge d'affaires to protest against the attack. Pakistan conducted "precision military strikes" in Iran's Siestan-Balochistan province, resulting in nine casualties. The strikes were seen as retaliation to Iranian attacks on 'Jaish al-Adl' bases in Pakistan. China offered to play a constructive role in easing tensions, emphasizing respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity. Pakistan, facing an economic crisis, is navigating a tough IMF bailout program. The situation remains tense as diplomatic efforts unfold to mitigate the escalation.
