Iran reportedly notified the Pakistani military in advance about its January 16 missile strike but did not inform Islamabad about making it public, claims an Iranian local media report. The report states that Tehran gave prior notice to Islamabad, with a source mentioning they could have executed the strike without publicizing it. A Telegram channel linked to Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard Corps asserted that the attack required coordination with the Pakistani government. While Iranian journalists hinted at a diplomatic visit aiming to inform Pakistan beforehand, the reports remain unverified. The tit-for-tat strikes have heightened concerns about regional instability. Both nations signal a desire to ease tensions despite casualties reported.
