Iran has summoned the Pakistani ambassador and demanded immediate steps to stop attacks by "terrorists and rebels" that sparked deadly clashes on the countries' border, state media reported Sunday. Noor Muhammad Jadmani was called to the foreign ministry on Saturday evening following the deaths in the restive border province of Sistan-Balochistan, the official IRNA news agency said.
Two Iranian border guards and a Pakistani paramilitary officer were killed in a shooting on Thursday evening, sources on the two sides said. Iran said rebels had tried to infiltrate the country.
"It is unacceptable that terrorists and rebels attack our country from Pakistani territory and kill our border guards," the foreign ministry's western Asia director, Rasul Salami, told IRNA.
