"Pakistan and Iran De-escalate Tensions Following Missile Exchanges"

Pakistan and Iran have agreed to de-escalate tensions following a series of military actions in the Baluchistan border region, with Iran initiating a missile and drone attack on "terrorist" targets in Pakistan and Pakistan responding with precision strikes on militant targets inside Iran. The international community, including the United Nations and the United States, called for restraint, while China offered to mediate. The situation prompted both nations to recall their ambassadors, raising concerns about potential border closures and their impact on the local population. Pakistan's caretaker Prime Minister held an emergency security meeting, emphasizing the inviolability of Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and stressing the need for dialogue and diplomacy to address security concerns for regional peace and stability.
