Tehran, YJC. Interior minister has said that Iran will not wait for response from Pakistan, but will take action to save its soldiers.

Minister of Interior speaking to reporters on Monday morning provided comments on the latest actions taken to save Iran’s captive soldiers and said "In case Pakistan does not take action to cope with terrorist groups, our forces will enter the Pakistani soil. We will not wait for Pakistan.”

Abdorreza Rahmani Fazli maintained that several meetings have been held with Pakistani officials urging action to save the soldiers.

"Pakistan and Afghanistan have grown into a place for terrorists and bandits. If Pakistan proves unable to maintain security we will enter the country’s soil in order to preserve our own security. That is a right we consider ourselves entitled to.”

5 Iranian border guards were taken hostage last week by members of Jaish ul Adl and taken inside Pakistan.

The event raised a lot of public concern which was to find social media campaign in support of the soldiers.
