Early on Wednesday, Pakistan reported two childrenโs deaths and three girlsโ injuries after Iran claimed to have targeted two significant bases of the Jaish ul-Adl terror group in Balochistan province. Iranโs Revolutionary Guard stated that drones and missiles were used to destroy the bases in the Kuhe Sabz area, one of the largest belonging to the Jaish ul-Adl.
Pakistanโs Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the incident, labelling it an โunprovoked violationโ of its airspace, expressing that it was โcompletely unacceptableโ and warning of potential โserious consequences.โ However, Pakistan did not provide specific details regarding the location or nature of the airspace violation.
In response to Iranโs strikes, Pakistan denounced them as an โillegal actโ and lodged a strong protest with a senior official in the Iranian Foreign Ministry in Tehran. The responsibility for consequences was squarely placed on Iran. The Jaish ul-Adl terror group has a history of launching attacks on Iranian security forces in the border region with Pakistan.

Additionally, Iranโs Revolutionary Guard claimed to have attacked what it referred to as the โespionage headquartersโ of Israelโs Mossad intelligence agency in Iraqโs Kurdistan region. They also reported strikes against the Islamic State in Syria, with no impact on US facilities, according to two US officials. These actions occurred amid regional tensions escalating from the conflict between Israel and Hamas, involving Iranโs allies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. Iran, supporting Hamas, accused the US of backing what it called Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
The situation underscores heightened geopolitical complexities and the potential for further repercussions in the already tense Middle East region.
