Taftan: Mohammad Hassan returned to Pakistan this week from neighboring Iran when he told the long, “terrible nights” that he witnessed drones, missiles and blasts from Tehran’s sky.

Tehran’s 35 -year -old student is one of about 3,000 Pakistanis in a university student, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Israel has returned home last week after its aerial war against its long -time enemy. As Israel and Iran’s trade missiles and drone strikes, governments around the world are roaming around to evacuate their citizens trapped in rapid conflicts. “I was in the city center where most of the strike took place and even one of the students’ hostels was attacked and fortunately no one was dead, but the students were injured,” Hassan said.

He said that there are more than 500 Pakistani students in his university alone, he said, they are all “back home”. He told AFP, “Those days and nights were horrible … Listening to siren, crying, the danger of being hit by missiles. When you got out of the window at night, you could see drones, missiles, missiles with fire tail.” Pakistan and Iran have a diplomatic relationship. They bombed each other’s territory more than a year, both claimed to target rebels to launch attacks to their neighbor’s soil. Yet he never suspended trade, tourism and educational relations. The Iranian consulate across Pakistan has intensified efforts to promote its universities. Between 25 million and 35 million Pakistanis are also expected to visit at least one visit to Iran’s holy places in their lives, the most important of them is the holy city of nation. The 41 -year -old petroleum engineer, Mohammad Khalil, left Tehran three days ago, the capital of the Islamic Republic looked like a past city when residents sheltered inside the house and fled the family. Khalil said, “In the last two days, I saw people going out of the city in different vehicles with essential items.

Abdul Ghani Khan sells medical goods in his hometown of Peshawar in northwestern Pakistan and regularly travels to Iran for logistics. He had been in Tehran for a week when Israeli missiles fell on Friday. Since then, Iran and Israel have traded a heavy missile fire, fearing wider regional conflicts. Pakistan is in a difficult place as the only Muslim -majority country with nuclear weapons. This, like Iran, does not recognize Israel, but is also an important ally of the United States. Khan had to travel by road because the plane is now closed. Pakistan has also left its border with Iran except Pakistanis want to return home. Khan said, “We saw a drone, red lights of anti -aircraft guns and I fired a building a catch fire.” Mohammad Asif, a lawyer from Lahore, east of Pakistan, heard about airstrikes during the pilgrimage in the nation. He was not initially afraid and is the home of Imam Raza Mazar, the goldenly gold, continuing his visit to Mashhad in the northeast of Iran.

It was when Israeli strikes attacked Mashhad’s airport, which was about 1,000 one thousand kilometers from the Pakistani border. Samarin Ali was also in Mashhad, but like Asif, he also shortened his journey and returned with her husband and 15 -year -old son. When she collided with the city, she was praying at a mosque in Mashhad. Ali said she had visited Iran nine times before or on the shrines and never witnessed the war there. “When I heard two blasts, I was offering a prayer,” he told AFP. After that he saw that he was not receiving messages on his phone and he assumed that “war was banned” because of the war. 46 -year -old Syed Tahib was in Qayyum and just had to travel 500 km in southeast Yazd in the southeast. Saqib said, “We had to go to Balochistan.” Saqib remembered making a border crossing in Taftan, which is surrounded by families carrying heavy luggage.
