In a surprising turn of events, tensions have escalated between Iran and Pakistan, with both countries launching strikes against each other's territories. This development adds to the already existing regional conflict in the area. The recent series of attacks has taken many by surprise, as just a week ago, Pakistan and Iran were preparing for joint naval exercises and seemed to be on friendly terms.
The recent chain of hostilities started when Iran launched missile strikes on Monday, targeting northern Iraq and Syria. In an unexpected move, Iran also executed a missile strike on Pakistan on Tuesday night. This attack, according to the Iranian government, targeted a militant group hiding in Pakistan, which they claimed was responsible for previous attacks on Iran. The strike reportedly resulted in the deaths of at least two individuals.
