Iran launched cross-border attacks on alleged bases of the militant group Jaish al-Adl in Pakistan, deploying missiles and drones, according to state media. The reports were later removed without clarification. Jaish al-Adl, a Sunni militant organization, primarily operates in Pakistan. This comes amid heightened regional tensions, following Iran's recent missile strikes in Iraq targeting what it labeled an Israeli "spy headquarters." The situation is compounded by fears of spillover from the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Iraq condemned the attacks in its territory as a "blatant violation" of sovereignty, leading to the recall of its ambassador from Tehran.
