Pakistan-Iran military strikes: What India, US, China and Russia said

On Thursday, Pakistan executed targeted airstrikes against alleged Baloch terrorist groups in Iran, escalating existing tensions along the Pakistan-Iran border sparked by Tehran’s airstrikes in Balochistan earlier in the week. The Pakistani military asserted that these precision strikes were in response to Iranian actions that resulted in the tragic deaths of two children in its southwestern Baluchistan province. This development has drawn attention from global powers, prompting statements from the United States, as well as neighboring China and India, as the situation adds a new layer of complexity to the already tense dynamics in the Middle East.
