There is a consensus among the public that Pakistan has the right to defend itself and take action against any threats, including addressing concerns related to terrorists reportedly based in Iran.
Despite historical support for Iran in times of difficulty, there is a sentiment of disappointment among some Pakistanis, who feel that Iran has ‘turned against Pakistan’. Citizens are urging authorities not to make concessions and to consider Pakistan's adversaries seriously.
Critics argue that Iran's actions have demonstrated irresponsibility on a global scale, especially by directly targeting Pakistani citizens.
Nevertheless, the public remains united, standing firmly beside the Pakistan Army in these challenging times, emphasizing the need to address external threats and uphold the nation's sovereignty.
