Baloch separatist group, Balochistan Liberation Army said that “Pakistan will have to pay the price” for the airstrikes conducted on January 18, 2024.
“Now the Baluch Liberation Army will not remain silent. We will avenge it and we announce war on state of Pakistan,” the group said in a statement.
U.S. President Joe Biden said on Thursday that the clashes between Iran and Pakistan show that Iran is not well-liked in the region.
Pakistan launched strikes on separatist militants inside Iran on Thursday, in a retaliatory attack two days after Tehran struck the bases of another jihadist group within Pakistani territory.
“As you can see Iran is not particularly well-liked in the region and where that goes, we’re working on now. I don’t know where that goes,” Biden said.
Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres while expressing his deep concern over the Pakistan-Iran conflict, urged both the countries to exercise restraint.
“The Secretary-General is deeply concerned about the recent exchange of military strikes between Iran and Pakistan, which have reportedly caused casualties on both sides,” as per a statement by UN Chief Stephane Dujarric quoting Guterres.
“He urges both countries to exercise maximum restraint to avoid a further escalation of tensions,” the statement added.
