Iran claimed to have launched missile and drone attacks on Tuesday targeting the headquarters of Jaish al-Adl, a militant group based in Pakistan that opposes Tehran, according to reports from Iran's Tasnim news agency.




Tasnim revealed that the attacks resulted in the destruction of two "important headquarters" of Jaish al-Adl in Pakistan. The strikes were concentrated in the southwestern Balochistan province, specifically targeting one of the largest headquarters of the militant group.


As of now, the Pakistani government has not officially commented on the reported Iranian attacks on its soil.


These airstrikes occurred a day after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched missiles into Iraq's Kurdistan region, targeting what it claimed to be an Israeli "spy headquarters" and alleged ISIS-linked targets in Syria.


Jaish al-Adl, established in 2012 and designated as a "terrorist" organization by Tehran, is a Sunni militant group operating in Iran's restive southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan. The group asserts its mission to advocate for greater rights and improved living conditions for ethnic Baluchis in Iran and has been responsible for numerous attacks on Iranian security forces over the years.


In a tragic incident last month, Jaish al-Adl claimed responsibility for an attack on a police station in Sistan-Baluchistan, resulting in the death of at least 11 Iranian policemen.


Sistan-Baluchistan, sharing borders with Afghanistan and Pakistan, has a history of clashes between Iran's security forces and Sunni militants, as well as encounters with drug smugglers. The province, predominantly populated by Sunni ethnic Baluchis, represents one of Iran's poorest regions, further adding to the complexities of the ongoing security challenges in the area.
