Iran-Versus-Imran: Livid With Pakistan, Country’s General Says It Will Pay A ‘Heavy Price’ For Spreading Terror 

General Qassem Soleimani of Iran has stated that he will take action against terrorist outfits that are operating out of Pakistan since the Imran Khan-led Pakistani government has failed to counter the menace, reports Economic Times (ET).

“I have this question for the Pakistani government: where are you heading to? You have caused unrest along borders with all your neighbours and do you have any other neighbour left that you want to stir insecurity for. Are you, who have atomic bombs, unable to destroy a terrorist group with several hundred members in the region?” said the General who leads Iran’s Quds Force — a division primarily responsible for extraterritorial military and clandestine operations.

It should be noted that Pakistan not only supports terror groups like Jaish-e-Mohammad that target India but also organisations like Jaish al-Adl which has carried out attacks against civilians and military personnel in Iran.

"Pakistan should know that it should pay the cost for the Pakistani intelligence organisation's support for Jeish al-Zolm (as Jaish al-Adl is called in Iran) from now on and this price will no doubt be very heavy for them," said Ali Jafari, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Even Afghanistan

Pakistan’s northern neighbour has also complained of Pakistan’s primary role in spreading terrorism across the world. “Pakistan has been using terrorism as a tool and tactic. India should have done this (Balakot strikes) much earlier,” said Rahmatullah Nabil, former chief of Afghanistan’s intelligence agency.
