The recent missile attacks have sparked fears that a conflict can arise in the Middle East and spread to neighbouring places.</p><h5>Why did Iran conduct missile strikes on the three countries?</h5><p>Iran conducted missile strikes against the three countries in reaction to attacks on its soil or against other Iranian targets. It targeted Islamic State militants in Syria in response to a bombing that killed many people on 3rd January 2024 in central Iran.</p><p>Iranian missiles were launched at Iraq to destroy sites that Iran claimed were Israeli spy structures. Israel has killed key members of Iran's Lebanese partner, Hezbollah, as well as Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in Lebanon and Syria.</p><p>In Pakistan, Iran reports having destroyed two camps of Baluchi militant Jaish al Adl, a Pakistan-based group. The group had claimed responsibility for an attack in December that killed Iranian security officers.</p><h5>What are the reactions to the attacks?</h5><p>Pakistan launched a series of military strikes against militant hideouts inside Iran. The attacks were carried out in Iran’s southeastern Sistan and Baluchistan province. The country said it carried out strikes against the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), two militant groups.</p><p>Pakistan claimed many militants were killed in the attacks. Iran has asked for an explanation from Pakistan regarding the attacks. Pakistan also said the attacks by Iran harmed Pakistani civilians.</p><p>Iraq has recalled its ambassador and has also summoned Iran's chargé d'affaires in Baghdad (Iraq’s capital city) in response to Iranian strikes. Iraq says many civilians were killed because of the attacks. It also wants to discuss this in front of the UN Security Council. Iraq also said the attacked sites were not Israeli spy installations.</p><p>At the time of this writing, there has been no response from Syria about the attacks.
