India on Wednesday reacted to Iran’s strikes on militant group Jaish al-Adl bases in Pakistan and said this is a matter between the two countries.

However, New Delhi said it understands “actions that countries take in their self defense”.

“This is a matter between Iran and Pakistan. Insofar as India is concerned, we have an uncompromising position of zero tolerance towards terrorism. We understand actions that countries take in their self defense,” Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.

The MEA official’s statement comes hours after a member of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards was shot dead in the country’s restive southeastern province that borders Pakistan and Afghanistan. This attack followed Iranian strikes at two bases of the militant group Jaish ul-Adl in Balochistan on Tuesday.

In now-deleted reports, state-run Iranian media said that “precision missile and drone strikes” were aimed at two strongholds of the Sunni terrorist group Jaish al-Adl (known as Jaish al-Dhulm in Iran).

Pakistan has strongly condemned the airstrike while warning of retaliation.
