Following an air strike on "Pakistan's soil" targeting the Jaish al-Adl group, Iran's foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, clarified that the attack aimed at an "Iranian terrorist group." Speaking at the World Economic Forum, he emphasized that no Pakistani nationals were targeted. Tensions rose as Pakistan condemned the strike, recalling its ambassador from Iran. Amir-Abdollahian assured respect for Pakistan's sovereignty but underscored Iran's commitment to national security. The strikes, also in Iraq and Syria, targeted "anti-Iranian terrorist groups." Amid diplomatic strains, the situation intensifies with Pakistan blocking Tehran's envoy and recalling its ambassador.
