Iran Conducts Airstrikes in Pakistan’s Balochistan, Escalating Regional Tensions

Iran launched airstrikes on Pakistan’s Balochistan territory, targeting a militant group which will further increase violence in the Middle East and beyond.

Pakistan’s foreign ministry confirmed the death of two children and injuries to three others in the strikes. Tehran’s diplomat in Islamabad was summoned to protest this airspace violation. The strikes reportedly focused on Balochistan province, along the Iran-Pakistan border.

Iran claims the strikes at Jaish al-Adl’s bases, though Iranian media soon ceased reporting on the incident. The attacks signify a notable escalation in tensions with Pakistan.

Before Iran’s strike on Pakitan’s territory, a day earlier, Iranian missile attacks in Syria and Iraq retaliated for a double suicide bombing in Kerman, Iran. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Kerman attack. Tehran’s connection between Jaish al-Adl and these attacks remains unclear.

Iran’s actions came amid escalating regional instability, partly due to the Gaza conflict. The Houthi rebels, linked to Iran, attacked Red Sea shipping, prompting US-led airstrikes in Yemen.

The US is expected to reclassify the Houthis as global terrorists. This move follows the initial delisting in 2021 to facilitate humanitarian aid in Yemen.

Iran-Pakistan Diplomatic Meeting

Iran’s foreign minister met Pakistan’s caretaker prime minister at the World Economic Forum. The content of their discussions remains undisclosed.

Baloch nationalists have long sought independence in Balochistan. Iran suspects Pakistan of supporting these insurgents, potentially with Saudi Arabia’s involvement. Despite a detente between Iran and Saudi Arabia, tensions persist, evidenced by a recent attack in Pakistan.

Iran targeted IS bases in Syria and claimed Israeli and terrorist targets near the US consulate in Erbil, Iraq. Iraq condemned these attacks, recalling its ambassador and considering UN Security Council action.
