Iran holds Pakistan responsible for border guard’s death, seeks explanation

TEHRAN: Iran has held Pakistan responsible for the death of an Iranian border guard kidnapped by militants and sought an explanation from the Pakistani government.

On February 6, a Sunni militant group Jaish ul Adl abducted five Iranian border guards in Jakigour region in the Iranian province of Sistan-Balochistan and allegedly took them across the border to Pakistan.

The militant group claimed on Sunday that it had killed one of the five Iranian soldiers, Jamshid Danaeifar.

Subsequently, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Marziyeh Afkham expressed deep regret at the death of one of the five border guards, noting that Islamabad should be held accountable for the grave incident.

The spokesperson called on Pakistan to take serious and prompt action to arrest those terrorists and guarantee the release of the Iranian soldiers.

“Iranian officials have repeatedly expressed their dissatisfaction with and concern about acts of terror in border areas and the Islamic Republic of Iran has stressed the need for the necessary measure by Pakistan to prevent terrorists from crossing and using the Pakistani territory,” Afkham added.

Afkham further said that lack of seriousness in Pakistan’s reaction against the moves that damage friendly and brotherly relations between Tehran and Islamabad will be in contradiction to the good neighborliness.
