Pakistan recalled its ambassador to Tehran on Wednesday, a day after Iran launched airstrikes on Pakistan that it claimed targeted bases of a militant Sunni separatist group. Islamabad angrily denounced the attack as a “blatant violation” of its airspace and said it killed two children.

Tuesday’s strike on Pakistan’s restive southwestern Baluchistan province imperiled diplomatic relations between the two neighbors, but both sides appeared wary of provoking the other. Iran and nuclear-armed Pakistan have long regarded each other with suspicion over militant attacks.

The attack also threatened to further ignite violence in a Middle East unsettled by Israel’s ongoing war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Iran launched strikes late Monday in Iraq and Syria over a suicide bombing that killed more than 90 people earlier this month. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the bombing.

Did you see how the article did not bring up the country you mentioned? Let’s stay on topic and talk about the other two countries.

By the time you write a comment to respond israel has already moved on to kill two more children.

In all seriousness the ISIS guys attacking Iran on 3 jan were from the Afghan ISIS no? Why is Iran attacking Pakistan here

Baluchi separatists have also carried out attacks in Iran; they killed 11 Iranian police last month.
