Iran has carried a surgical strike inside Pakistan with an aim to free its Revolutionary Guards that were kidnapped by Baloch terrorists on October 16, 2018.

14 Iranian guards, including members of the Revolutionary Guards, were kidnapped by the Pakistan-based Iranian Sunni extremist group, Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice), at the Mirjaveh border point in Iran’s southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan Province, who were later transferred to Pakistan.

Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards also hailed the mission as successful and said in a statement on February 3 that the two kidnapped border guards were even rescued. They were taken as hostages by Jaish ul-Adl organization two and a half years ago but owing to the surgical strike. The IRGC soldiers have now reportedly returned to Iran.
