Iran bombed this Wednesday morning with ballistic missiles two bases of jihadist group Jaish al Adl in Pakistan, as reported by Iranian public television, which claims that drones also participated in the action. The attack comes just 24 hours after the double bombing that Tehran carried out against northern Iraq and northern Syria, where Iran simultaneously attacked, also with ballistic missiles, a alleged Israeli spy command center in Erbil and a supposed basis of Islamic State (IS) in Syria.
Pakistan, which this Wednesday morning confirmed the event, has assured that the Iranian attack has hit a mosque in a small town in the Baluchestan region, and that caused the death of at least two children. “This unprovoked violation of our airspace is completely unacceptable, and this illegal attack It will have serious consequences. “The responsibility for what happened lies entirely with Iran,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan in a statement.
The bombing took place in the border region between Pakistan and Iran, Baluchestan, where the militia has a presence Jaish al Adla jihadist group fighting for the separation of the region from both Tehran like Islamabad. According to Iran, Jaish al Adl—which sporadically carries out attacks against civilians and police in Iranian cities—has ties to Al Qaeda.
In fact, the Iranian Government blames Jaish Al Adl for an ambush in December against an Iranian border post in the region, which ended with the death of more than a dozen Iranian police officers. “Terrorism is a common threat, but unilateral actions of this type are not compatible with a good relationship between neighbors“continues the Pakistani statement published after the bombing this Wednesday.
