Tehran has strongly criticized the recent US-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen’s northern province of Saada and a deadly attack in Pakistan’s Balochistan province. Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei labeled the strikes as violations of Yemen’s sovereignty and international law, stating that they exacerbate instability in the region. The coalition, comprising the US, Britain, and Israel, reportedly targeted a Houthi-controlled military site in Saada. The Houthis, known for supporting Palestinians and disrupting Israeli-linked activities in the Red Sea, have been on the receiving end of repeated coalition attacks.

In Pakistan, an explosion in the Turbat district of Balochistan claimed four lives and left 32 others injured. The banned Balochistan Liberation Army has taken responsibility for the attack on a convoy, though Pakistani authorities have yet to confirm the claim. Iran’s Baghaei extended condolences to the victims’ families and emphasized the urgency of combating terrorism in the region. The Turbat blast comes amid growing concerns over security in southwestern Pakistan, an area often plagued by separatist violence.

These incidents highlight the escalating tension in West Asia, with Yemen caught in a prolonged proxy conflict and Pakistan grappling with internal unrest. The international community continues to monitor the unfolding crises, with human rights organizations urging de-escalation and dialogue to address the root causes of these conflicts. Tehran’s response underscores its role as a regional stakeholder advocating for stability and sovereignty.
