Iran Attacks Pakistan

Pakistan needs to abandon the policy of rewarding those who attack Baloch nationalists and stop promoting conspiracy theories that India, Iran, and Afghanistan are behind all the chaos in Balochistan.

Despite his deep imprint on Iran's foreign policy, Ebrahim Raisi's demise may not see any major foreign policy shifts in the region.

India, which sees itself not just as a member of the Global South but as one of its leaders, will have to do a careful balancing act with the West. Therefore, the India-Iran Chabahar deal speaks of a great resolve.

Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi will travel to Islamabad on Monday to meet his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari, Pakistan's foreign ministry said, as the two countries seek to mend ties following deadly cross-border attacks this year.

Jihadist attacks in southeastern Iran near Pakistan killed 10 Iranian security personnel, state media reported on Thursday, doubling an earlier toll.

Iran's military forces killed senior Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice) militant group commander Ismail Shahbakhsh and some of his companions in Pakistan territory, Iran International English reported, citing Iran's state-run media.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Monday arrived in Islamabad on the invitation of his Pakistani counterpart Jalil Abbas Jilani, amid strain in relations following the recent tit-for-tat strikes launched by the two countries.

Iran and Pakistan announced Monday that their ambassadors would resume their duties after the two countries agreed to de-escalate tensions following an exchange of deadly strikes last week.

Pakistan and Iran agreed to the spirit of "mutual trust and cooperation" and the need for closer cooperation on security issues as the two sides began to pick threads of tattered ties following their tit-for-tat missile strikes in each other.

An Iranian strike on Pakistan earlier this week drew a rapid military riposte and the unprecedented escalation has raised fears of greater regional turmoil.

Beijing has said it was willing to mediate tensions between Pakistan and Iran, after the two countries traded deadly air strikes on militant targets on each other's territory. China is a close partner of both nations.

UN chief Antonio Guterres expressed concern Thursday after Iran and Pakistan exchanged air strikes on each other's territory.

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Thursday that the clashes between Iran and Pakistan this week show that Iran is not well-liked in the region as the White House said it does not want to see an escalation.

Iran violated Pakistan's airspace and launched multiple missile strikes to target camps of two bases of the Baluchi militant group Jaish-al Adl.

Pakistan on Thursday said it conducted air strikes against "terrorist hideouts" in Iran, days after Iran carried out missile and drone strikes in its border province of Balochistan against the Jaish al-Adl group.
