Iran’s strikes on Pakistani soil ‘an overreaction’, but tensions not expected to spill over: Analyst
Iran on Jan 16 launched missile and drone raids on Pakistan’s Balochistan province, killing two children. Tehran said the attack was aimed at Jaish al-Adl, which it labels a terrorist group. However, by conducting a military operation on Pakistani territory, Tehran has damaged its relationship with its neighbour, which shares a common interest in fighting against separatist groups along their border, Mr Ali Vaez, project director of Iran at the International Crisis Group, tells CNA’s World Tonight.
