Pakistan and Iran have mutually agreed to "de-escalate" the situation and enhance coordination to combat terrorism.

Pakistan and Iran expressed their willingness to collaborate based on mutual trust and cooperation, agreeing to de-escalate tensions and strengthen coordination in combating terrorism. This decision was reached during a phone call between Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani and Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

Earlier in the week, Iran launched attacks in Pakistan, targeting alleged bases of the militant group Jaish al-Adl. This led to strong condemnation from Islamabad and a downgrade in diplomatic ties. Iran's actions were part of a series of attacks in response to recent terrorist incidents on its territory, causing concerns about regional stability amid ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

In retaliation, Pakistan conducted precision strikes on hideouts used by Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) in Iran's Sistan-Baluchestan province. The exchange prompted discussions between the two nations' foreign ministers, emphasizing close relations and a desire to work together with mutual trust. Both countries agreed to strengthen cooperation, de-escalate the situation, and discussed the return of ambassadors.

The military operation against BLA and BLF hideouts was described as precision strikes by the ISPR, utilizing various technologies to avoid collateral damage. The importance of dialogue and cooperation in resolving bilateral issues was highlighted, while concerns were raised about the reported casualties from the strikes.

The Foreign Office emphasized Pakistan's commitment to preserving the safety and security of its citizens, stressing the country's respect for Iran's sovereignty. The statement clarified that Pakistan's actions were driven by credible intelligence about impending terrorist activities and reiterated the nation's determination to defeat its enemies with the support of its people.
