Iran becomes third country to conduct Surgical Strike deep inside Pakistan targeting terrorist groups. Op conducted last night without knowledge of Pakistani army in the region. Several Pakistani soldiers feared killed who were giving cover to terror groups.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force announced in a statement on Wednesday that two Iranian border guards abducted by Jeish al-Adl terrorist group at the border with Pakistan two years ago have been released.

The IRGC Ground Force’s Qods Base in Southeastern Iran said in the statement that two of the Iranian border guards were freed in a successful intelligence operation on Tuesday night.

It added that the border guards had been abducted two years ago by Jeish al-Adl terrorist group.

Sources tell us that on one hand Iran has business dealings including talks in regards to Iran-Pakistan pipeline, this surgical strike against terrorists inside Pakistan seems to be an attempt to get into the good books of the new Biden Administration in the United States.

Previous Threat by Iran to Pakistan

Months after India carried out surgical strikes on terror launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Islamabad received a veiled threat of similar strikes by Iran on Monday 8-May 2017.

Iran’s Chief of Army Staff Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri had warned Pakistan that his country would not hesitate to strike terror safe havens in Pakistan if the latter failed to control their movement in bordering areas or failed to close their bases.

In a report, news agency IRNA quoted General Bagheri as saying: “Unfortunately, Iran’s eastern border regions with Pakistan have become a safe haven for training and equipping terrorists. If continued, we will hit the terrorists’ safe havens anywhere they are”

Jeish Al-Adl, a Pakistan-based radical Wahhabi terrorist group staging cross border attacks into Southeastern Iran from South-West Pakistan, had also claimed responsibility for the February 2019 attack which killed and wounded dozens of IRGC members after their bus came under a terrorist attack in the province.

The group has bases in Southwestern Pakistan and started operations after recruiting the remnants of Jundullah notorious terrorist group and reorganizing them. Iran had captured leaders of Jundullah notorious Wahhabi terrorist group and dismantled the terrorist organization years earlier.

Jeish Al-Adl is the same terrorist group that abducted Indian businessman Kulbhushan Jadhav and handed him over to Pakistani secret agencies. Jeish Al-Adl has the protection and sponsorship of Pakistan Intelligence Agency ISI and Pakistan Army.

In mid-October 2018, the group abducted 14 Iranian Basijis (volunteer forces) and border guards at Mirjaveh border in Southeastern Sistan-Balouchestan province. Five were released a month later on November 15.

The IRGC Ground Force then blamed foreign intelligence services for supporting and assisting the terrorist group.

Another four were released in March 2019.

Then early in March, 2015, Pakistani sources told the country’s media that authorities in Southwestern Pakistan had arrested the ringleader of Jeish al-Adl terrorist group as he was traveling on a bus from the lawless border area.

Jeish al-Adl also abducted five Iranian border guards in Jakigour region of Sistan and Baluchistan Province and took them to Pakistan in 2014. After two months of abduction, four of them were released and the fifth one was killed. His body was returned to Iran months later.

In October 2013, as many as 14 Iranian border guards were killed, while eight more were killed by them in April 2015.

Salam Rigi, cousin of the Jundollah terrorist group’s ringleader Abdolmalek Rigi, was seized by Pakistani authorities who were tipped off to his movements and intercepted the bus some 50 km from Quetta, the capital of Pakistan’s Baluchistan, a security official said on the condition of anonymity.

Salam Rigi was accused of involvement in suicide bombings in Iran and Pakistan, as well as sending terrorists to the conflicts in Iraq and Syria.

Other sources said the terrorist arrested was Abdo-Sattar Rigi (Abdolmalek’s brother), explaining that he was carrying his cousin’s ID card at the time of arrest, but further investigations revealed his true identity.

Later reports proved that the captured terrorist was Abdo-Sattar Rigi.

Abdo-Sattar (the third of the notorious Rigi brothers) headed the Jeish al-Nasr terrorist group, but his cousin Salam leads Jeish al-Adl.

Abdo-Sattar’s two older brothers, Abdolmalek and Abdolhamid Rigi, who led the more powerful terrorist group, Jundollah, were both captured and condemned to death by Iran earlier.

In early 2009, Abdolhamid Rigi, the Jundullah terrorist group’s number two man and brother of its ringleader Abdolmalek Rigi, was arrested by Iranian security forces.

Abdolhamid had conducted a number of bombing operations and other violent attacks in Iran resulting in many casualties and was sentenced to death by the court in 2009, but his execution was delayed on several occasions. Officials did not mention any specific reason for the delayed execution of Abdolhamid at the time.

Iran arrested Abdolmalek Rigi, the number one man of the Jundollah terrorist group in late February 2011. Abdolmalek was executed in June 2011.

Iranian military and police officials voice concern over the presence of terrorist groups in Pakistan’s territories, criticizing the Pakistani army and border police’s lax control over shared borders.

Pakistani terror groups like Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashar-e-Taiba have carried out scores of attacks in India so far. In September 2016, JeM killed 19 Indian soldiers at Uri, Kashmir in a cowardly attack at the crack of the dawn. The incident forced India to take on the terror groups in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Since then, Pakistani terrorists have carried out several small attacks on Indian soldiers in Kashmir. Some of them have also carried out bank loot incidents and killed police personnel besides the innocent civilians including women and children.

Points to Ponder

Although Pakistan harbors terrorists and Pakistan Army defends those terrorists, why does Iran has business dealings with Pakistan?

Why is Iran supporting Drug dealers from Pakistan to transit drugs via Chabahar port to India and other countries?

Is the surgical strike inside Pakistan a whitewash to get in good books of the new Biden Administration in the US?

Shouldn’t Financial Action Task Force (FATF) not take a note of Pakistan supporting terrorists and Pakistan Army defending the same terrorists?
