Iran’s missile attack on Pakistan is an issue that concerns only those two nations, India said today. The foreign ministry, however, added that New Delhi has “zero tolerance for terrorism” and 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 zero tolerance towards terrorism. We understand actions that countries take in their self defense,” foreign ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in response to media queries.

Yesterday, Iran said it has dismantled two bases of Sunni Balochi terror group Jaish al Adl — meaning Army of Justice — in Pakistan with drones and missiles. The group had earlier attacked Iranian security forces in the border area with Pakistan. On December 15, 11 police officers were killed when Jaish al-Adl operatives attacked another police station.

We only targeted the Iranian terrorist group on the soil of Pakistan. We respect sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan, but we don’t allow national security to be compromised or played with,” said Iran Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who is at Davos attending the annual meet of the World Economic Forum.
