Iran launched airstrikes on two Jaish ul-Adl bases in Balochistan, Pakistan, coinciding with a meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and Pakistan's caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar ul Haq Kakar at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Iranian state media reported the destruction of significant terrorist infrastructure. Pakistan condemned the strikes as an "unprovoked violation," expressing concern over the unilateral act despite existing communication channels. The incident resulted in casualties, including two children, prompting Pakistan to label it "completely unacceptable" and warning of potential "serious consequences." The attack aligns with recent Iranian strikes in Iraq and Syria, escalating regional tensions.
