 Iranian Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari asked Pakistan to conduct crack down against armed group Jaish al-Adl before Tehran takes it revenge.In February 2019, Bahram Ghasemi, speaking for the Foreign Ministry of Iran, said it would not tolerate what it saw as Pakistan's "inability to stop cross-border attacks in Iran".Pakistan, in turn, offered Iran cooperation in investigating the bombing, and expressed sympathy for the victims of the attack.
