ISLAMABAD & TEHRAN, Jan. 19, 2024 (TBINN)
Pakistan announced that it carried out strikes against what it said were terrorist hide-outs in Iran. A day earlier, Iran hit what it called militant camps in Pakistan. The military exchange is the latest example of an expanding set of hostilities connected to Israel-Hamas War.
It has been indicated by Pakistan that it did not want its clash with Iran to escalate. The military called the two neighbors brotherly countries and officials refrained from accusing Iran directly, saying that Pakistan targeted only separatists.
Attacks have been condemned by Iran, but also appeared to try to defuse tensions. Its foreign ministry referred to Pakistan as a friendly neighbor and added that it distinguished between the government of Pakistan, an ally, and terrorist groups operating within its borders.
