Pakistan Launches Retaliatory Strikes in Iran a Day After Issuing Warning of ‘Consequences’

In a tit-for-tat escalation, Pakistan carried out strikes against Baloch separatist groups in Iran, specifically targeting the Balochistan Liberation Front and the Balochistan Liberation Army near Saravan in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan province. The move follows Tehran’s attack on the Jaish al-Adl group’s headquarters in Pakistani territory, prompting Pakistan to issue a warning of “serious consequences.”

A senior intelligence source confirmed the strikes, stating that they targeted anti-Pakistan militant groups inside Iran. The government is expected to release an official statement clarifying the details of the operation.

The tensions ignited when Iran conducted strikes on “terrorist targets” in Pakistan, an action Islamabad claimed resulted in the death of two children. Pakistan condemned the violation of its airspace by Iran and warned of the “serious consequences” such actions could entail.

In response to what it deemed an “illegal act,” Pakistan announced the recall of its ambassador from Iran and the suspension of high-level visits between the two nations. The responsibility for the repercussions was squarely placed on Iran by Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
