Pakistan recalled its ambassador to Tehran on Wednesday, a day after Iran launched airstrikes on Pakistan that it claimed targeted bases of a militant Sunni separatist group. Jaish al-Adl said the attack killed two children and wounded two women and a teenage girl. Iran also said Revolutionary Guard forces killed a suspected Jaish al-Adl member in Rask, near the Pakistani border. Another recent attack killed another police officer in the area. In 2019, Jaish al-Adl claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing targeting a bus that killed 27 members of Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.
