TEHRAN – Iran’s General Staff of the Armed Forces has announced that the Pakistani army has successfully targeted terrorist groups operating along the Iran-Pakistan border, effectively dismantling elements posing a regional security threat.

According to a statement from the Iranian Armed Forces’ Communication Center, "These terrorist factions, backed by external powers, serve as proxies for the United States and the Zionist regime, using the Iran-Pakistan border as a launchpad for destabilizing activities." 

On November 5, the Pakistani military launched an airstrike against terrorist elements on its own territory, eliminating several operatives involved in these border incursions. The Iranian Armed Forces commended Pakistan’s decisive actions, underscoring their support for Pakistan’s efforts to counter terrorism in the region.

In response to claims circulating in local and international media about a possible joint operation, Iranian officials clarified that the operation was solely conducted by the Pakistani military, with no direct Iranian involvement.
