Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s Senior Political Analyst, delves into the strategic and political considerations behind Iranian attacks in Iraq and Pakistan. Bishara highlighted that Iran aims to convey various messages, foremost among them being an assertion of its regional power and an unequivocal warning against any attempts to challenge it. Additionally, he suggested that, beyond replying on the targeted countries, Iran seeks to directly con-front the United States within the region through these attacks. Bishara argued that the attacks serve as a demonstration of Iran’s strength and capability, sending a clear message to both Iraq and Pakistan.
Further, Bishara predicted that Iran’s actions are a deliberate signal to groups and countries alike, emphasizing their resilience and ability to respond effectively. He cast doubt on any notion that Iran would allow further provocations, asserting that they stand ready to retaliate against any attacks with force. On the matter, Bishara noted that these acts also serve to reassure the Iranian population, fostering confidence by showcasing the country’s strategic consciousness and willingness to take decisive action.

![Biden speech interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters [during campaign speech]](https://iml-jp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Biden-speech-interrupted-by-pro-Palestinian-protesters-during-campaign-speech.jpg)
Iran has been facing terror attacks from Pakistan side of border for a long time.
That is wrong what they are doing that doesn’t mean that you go and bombing other countries .
iran has terrorist outfits in
pak
iraq
syria
lebanon
pak
afghan
the list goes on. They now bomb pak ( after iraq and syria) and expect no response…They will not dare bomb ISRAEL DIRECTLY …instead they use arabs as fodder …zorastrian persians doing what they do best ..FIRE LIGHTING after all its fire that they worship
الطيور على اشكالها تقع .. البومة لن يمدحها الا الهوازل .. والا لو كان في وجه ناقل الخبر والمتكلم حياء لزحف على وجهه القرفصاء كما تزحف ثيرانه او ايرانه لسيدتها إخرائيل الزحفة والحبي وحبحبة الاقدام .. ولكن العم بروبار مردوخ صاحب القناة وطاقمها (الفلسطيني المقاوم) يعجبه خناقه ولا يعجبه من يريد له الخير من خونة الاسلام من القيادات الخوانية (راضعي حذاء هيلاري كلينتون) الاشلاميين نسأل الله العافية ..
من يستحي ان يتسمى باسم مجاهد فلا عبرة فيه ولا وزن له كيف ذلك وهو منذ البداية كتسمية انهزم وخاف ان يتهم بالمعرة من اسم ارتضاه مولاه وكانت الطاعة للعبد وليس المعبود فأنى العزة والنصرة ..
Iran stupidly attacked Pakistan !
Rogue action.
Pakistan retaliated justly.
What the actual F !
Why turning everyone against you !
Shame on Iran and Pakistan both, while Israel is killing innocent people, these two are fighting with each other,
Both are becoming a toy in hands of enemies
Shame
Pakistanis support Iran as the Pakistani mafia mercenary dollar rental army killing, raping , torturing Pakistanis for 76 years.
It’s not the Iranian regime. It’s the Iranian Government.
interesting that RUS,CHIN,IR all doesn’t get on with their neighbors and are now attacking them at the same time.
Iran is wrong
Pakistan bombed Iran as just retaliation!
Is that success for Iran to be bombed inside Iran ?
Lunatic Iran ! Turning friends into enemies
Pakistan Doesn’t has the government of the people but the the government of the US, am I right here and… Nor has the balls to response to US several drone strikes😂 lo osers
Good job Iran! 👌
When Arabs and other Muslim nations are silence about Palestinians and regional threats, you are the voice of the voiceless.
This comment came out after Iran just bombed a random Islamic neighbor that have no ties to Israel or the US.
Are you just tone deaf, s t u p i d, or are you a bot?
Iran and Pakistan are brothers this situation should have been handled at the diplomatic level. As a Pakistani I totally blame Pakistan government for the mishandling.
No one pay attention that less than 150 years and before that afganistan, pakistan and iraq belinged to IRAN
Really? When?
@@rameshsnayar read history
@@keyvanfamili42 Which book friend? Pakistan used to be India.Afghanistan was sometimes India and sometimes Iran
Look at the maps then talk
Just look at the map, pakistan is a young country made by UK. before that it was just Iran
Stupidity of Iran is beyond comprehension and they want to drag regions into war. Pakistan and Iran have good relations for 75 years but don’t forget Iran is desperate for Indian money and Indian foreign minister was in Iran before this attack. Few years ago Pakistani captured Indian Spy Kulbubshan Yadav who was operating from Iran and carried Iranian passport. Iran is acting like Indian proxy which is dangerous
Missile killing 2 children?
Stupidity of Iran is beyond belief
Sir, how stupid is Iran that it launched such missile and drone attacks on Iraq, Syria and Pakistan. Did these attacks have any effect on the Americans? Will America stop activities in Pakistan, Syria and Iraq? The answer is big “No”only innocent civilians were killed in all three countries.
Iran’s attack in Pakistan: killed a mother and her 2 kids!
What a load of bollocks! The Iranians leadership have lost its marbles
The “message” Iran is sending is that it is confused and does not know what to do or how to respond to Israeli assassination campaign on its forces. With all its rhetoric of punishing Israel what does it do? Attacks two Muslim countries, that are not enemies of Iran?!!
What Iranian got from this except embarrassment 😳 we consider Iran as a brother country. This is not acceptable for Pakistan but we want peace with our brother country Iran.
What a crock. Always shifting the blame. Iran has absolutely no right to launch ballistic missiles at Pakistan. But all we see from the usual suspects is deflection!
Qatar fears iran so much that anybody on Aljazeera cannot condemn iran on what it did killing children and families during the strikes.
Pakistan strikes back and Aljazeera feels it shouldn’t have done that.
Iran will one-day strike Qatar and Aljazeera will still blame Qatar for it.
Marwan sense of fairness and appropriateness is missing
here. Big hypocrite
.
Why does all the gulf and Islamic nations fears iran so much except Isreal?
Food for thought.
STILL UNDEFEATED BY ANY ARAB AND ISLAMIC NATION 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱😂😂,😂😅🤣😂
friends dnt believe abut this news…..news is coming nw that pak hav made an agreement with iran and told they wll drop some low intensity bombs on iran pak border ie; on desert (non habitat) area jst to save pakistan from international embarassment….🤣🤣….
shame shame pakistan….
Everything is at a Global Scale: Both Evil and Good. Like produces Like!
This would never have happened if the legit president of Pakistan was not put away in prison. He believed in being a partner for peace. Clearly there are some outside forces at play particularly at this crucial time. Reinstate IK
Why does Iran condem Israel if he does excacly the same to terrorists this people are crazy.
Iran is a foolish country
FERMATEVI TUTTI !!! CHE INTERESSI CI SONO A FARE LA GUERRA SE NON MORTE E DISTRUZIONE DEI POPOLI ? I GOVERNANTI DI TUTTI GLI STATI DEVONO PENSARE AL BENE DEL.PROPRIO POPOLO NON ALLA GUERRA ! BASTA GUERRA ,BASTA !!! POSSIBILE CHE NESSUNO FERMI HAMAS,NETANYAU, HAZBOLLAH, PUTIN, IRAN ? PERCHE FARE LA GUERRA PER POCHI KM DI TERRITORIO IN ISRAELE ? BASTA FERMATEVI TUTTI !!!
As a Pakistani I believe that Iran was justified in striking terrorist bases in Baluchistan, however I do condemn the civilian casualties! The terrorists were carrying out sucide attacks inside Iran for years and recently they like killed 100 people in recent explosion and then came back and hid in their hide holes in Baluchistan! I’m sure Iran asked Pakistan to secure the border but as a Pakistani I know that our Army never carried out operations against even those terrorists who killed thousands of Pakistani people in terrorist attacks that keep happening every now and then! Do you expect the Iran to remain silent while the terrorists were mocking them from Pakistan! By calling it attack on Pakistan you’re actually disgracing Pakistan because the strikes were against terrorists! Are you indirectly calling Pakistan a TERRORIST state?
I guess no one will protest against Iran’s attack on Pakistan because Pakistan are not Jews. 😂
As an iranian i dont feel more secure thanks for nothing.
Iran is wrong to assume they the only power in the region. Other countries are more powerful and can contain Iran’s aggression.
I hope Iran got the message as well . Well now don’t forget that u CANNOT MESS with PAKISTAN either. U became nuclear power recently but Pakistan is from years. Be humble.
Dude ppl in Pakistan r starving n terrorists attacks have killed many Pakistani soldiers
Israel wants to open up the war fronts so that it can deviate public eye from the ethnic cleansing/genocide happening in Gaza.
Ya …keep blaming Israel !
They call us regim they dont know
Well it didn’t goes as planned with Pakistan because Pakistan hit 7 Targets in iran today
Iran are just frustrated 😀😀
Dear MB
I always admire your comments and approach
But in case of iran
Iran as threat and crimes in Syria and iraq are not hidden secret
Whats the issue here, i mean isreal and the US do the same striking targets any where anytime in the region, so iran is just following suite. So this is ww3 preseason i presume. Hope it stays there though.
Funny that a sponsor of terrorism believes it has a right to attck other countries under the guise of fighting terrorists. The world is heading directly where it should be headed. Jesus will be back and finally peace will rule.
Iran is trying to benefit US and Israel as it has done in the past by weakening Syria, Lebanon , Iraq and Yemen
Scenerio look like that —
All are ready, suddenly who will trapped – only God knows … 🤔
Hang on ! Doesn’t Iran have the right to defend it self ? Just like Israel
Iran is the hidden child of Israel all these plans of Bashar Al Asad Hamas Hizbollah are created with cooperation by Israel and Iran it is Abdullah bin Sabah of munafiqeen bsstrrd
Big bully spank him. Angry, he spank another kid next to him. Never thought Iran turn out to be an idiot.
Or is it what Saudis been saying is right all along. Iran’s enemy number 1 is not US and Israel. They been laughing their heart out watching what happen in Gaza.
Marwan the rocket scientist is an employee of Iran
Well iran messed with the wrong guy .
Iran attack in Iraq was power projection and anti Israeli andti USA strike.
In Pakistan, it was a preemptive attack on a terror group, at least so far confirmed by Iranian government. The two are clearly different.
Pakistan is not Iraq or Syria so be sure next time while doing something against Pakistan foolish people
It’s fairly clear from the recent actions of Iran that the regime is now seemingly at war with the entire world around it. This is the behavior of a regime that is despised in its own land and a survival mechanism in order to justify its own existence. Iran is desperate and will destroy itself eventually.
Iran play a double agent role Iran express hate and aggression against isreal and america but still Iran didn’t violat isreal or American border with a single bullet. But Pakistan retaliation realized Iran that Pakistan is not like Iraq and serya, Pakistan is a nuclear power and having the world best military. So next time Iran will face double power from Pakistan.
फिलास्टीन की जंग ने एक चीज से तो परदा उठा दिया है वह ये की,57मुस्लिम देशों के हुक्मरान मुस्लिम के भेस में मुनाफिक बैठाए गए है उनको मुसलमानो से कोई हमदर्दी नहीं है ये सब अमेरिका,इजराइल के इशारे पर काम करते है।
Iran strikes terrorists in Pakistan that are supported by the US. Pakistan strikes terrorists in Iran that are supported by the US.
Are Iran and Pakistan playing the US?

Pakistan Army is very strong army, Iran should not miscalculate
It is strange that Iran is attacking terrorists in Pakistan but is happy to sponsor, train and supply terrorists in Hamas, hezzbollah and the Houhti rebels in Yemen. Will Iran instruct Hamas to attack pop concerts in Pakistan and kidnap people do you think?
Muslim & Ethical Citizens of the World must boycott US products because of the Gaza Genocide!
Pakistan has just mirrored the response
America and isreal is killing Iranian but Iran is attacking Pakistan and Iraq…WTF
The Poorest Countries are The Bravest💯
GOD BLESS YEMEN, LEBANON & SOUTH AFRICA
Iran has no right to act in such manner without priorly consulting its neighbors.taking uncalculated steps/decisions could plunge the whole region in chaos,this will surely serve some rival powers’ interests of course 🥸
@Nozarks1 too early for apologies. Let’s wait for further developments and hope that war doesn’t break out there. 😎👍
Maybe the fragile leadership in Tehran is doing the same thing Putin tried in Ukraine. Rally support by starting a fight. Probably be as disastrous for the turban tops in Tehran as it was for Vlad the Failure.
well cant say about others but Pakistan is not a iraq or syria or others who are scared of iran. it can and has given you a reply you will remember for long. focus on your issues and if you have the guts to do then try and do something to the is rae lis or ame ric ans. dont be so delusional and behave like a rabid dog. as i mention try and attack. and you wont even try i am sure.
want to see this gentleman again after the pakistani reply.
They’ve been warning Pakistan for years. The terrorists blew up Iran’s police station and some other building. Usually these issues are solved diplomatically. This time Pakistan didn’t respond appropriately, leaving Iran little choice. Pakistan currently has an interim government and it’s not doing what Pakistanis want. ❤️ and apologies to Iran from Pakistan.
And after all this Pakistan strikes irans arrogance and now its face is in dirt. Think twice next time bully. Pakistan is not Iraq or Syria
@@ikramabbasi6901
True because Pakistan hosts more terrorists
Nonsense, hypocrite Iran ONLY harms Muslim countries from Afghanistan to Syria iraq yemen n now shamelessly attacked Pakistan! While hypocrite Iran NEVER attacks xionist usa or xio regime
America attacks everywhere in the name of terrorist but when Iran really attacks terrorists then they get cornered. The double standards of world against Iran.
Iran is not the regional power attacking pakistan ,,Iraq ,,and syria
I respect Iran a lot but gotta be the worst time to fight with another Muslim country. I thought Iranian leadership would know better. I am not talking about Pakistan because they didn’t start it also they have a nation of Islam hating Kafirs to keep in check. Sorry Iran but what you did is unfortunate.
I love the articulations of Marwan always on point.
if this pakistan army is so much powerful than why they did not attack america as america attacked more than 500 times through drones and missiles?
Dont try to underestimate the military power of Pakistan.
But for Pakistan miscalculation Iran about Pakistan no one can undermine Pakistan
AlJazreera is nothing but a terrorist propaganda organization. Most of what they report is complete fiction.
Anyone who believes these fools really need to go and fact check al Jazeera on things to see for themselves how much BS AL Jazeera pushes.
Pakistan & Iran only wanna kill Baloch people. Iran attacks Pakistani Baloch and Pakistani killing Iranian Baloch people
Pakistan striked back and murder 4 arm children and 3 woman who were seeking food in Iran
Iran is an amazing chess player , and their actions are premeditated because they have been around for centuries.
The attacks which was carried out by iran to abolish the group that working against iran s interest from the Baluceestani borders in Pakistan. And spying isreal’s group in iraq and Syria.
Some reason I think it was mutually agreed staged up attacks to gain public support in pakistan and iran
Iran is desperate
How come the U.S. doesn’t lob missiles at Canada or Vice Versa? How about France and Spain? Why is it only in this part of the world?
They are Evil the miltary regime in Pakistan and the Western backed terrorists in erbil so Iran has all right to defend itself from the Evil.
Iran has no chance
Iran attacking Pakistan is very irrelevant act only showing of false power to Israel ,,Iran is wet cat only
Pakistan is not a Muslim country anymore but a another puppet of Israel Zionist terrorisst IDF militant
israel is a genocidal regime , stop the genocide , free free palestine
In such situations Pakistan didn’t wait too much, they apply atomic weapons very quickly bcz gorilla war is waste of time nowdays
May there be peace with Iran and Pakistan but stop talking one sided
Iran is testing its weapons
Iraq is in irans pocket
Iran and Pakistan hit the same people so I’m starting to think they were all coordinated. Their relations seem fine now
Nobody wants to hurt Iranian people just the regime
AJ is basically Iranian propaganda 😂😂😂
The fact is many tribes are attacking one another and blaming America and Israel. For example, Iran attacked Pakistan only a few days ago, claiming there were some terrorists inside Pakistan who are the agents of America and Israel. In fact, the terrorists are ordinary Iranians who fed up with Iranian mullahs.
in simple words, it is total bullshit tactics from Iran. This is not how you become a power and especially attacking Pakistan, who has nuclear capabilities and an awesome Air Force.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶
Saudia Arabia. Iran Pakistan fight cancel house careful empire altaf ache been agains Nauman.
It was just to rebuilding the image of army in both the countries Iran and Pakistan.
I think with Pakistan, it is not all what it seems. Iran ataack and Pakistan response feel like pre-agreed strikes. A few days before iran strike, a jovial pakistan navy goodwill group saiked to iran, and during the so called crisis, iran’s foreign minister was meeting the pakistani counterparts in, i think, the UAE ( it could be anotter country). All pre-agreed, i feel.
