"Jaish al-Adl is clearly a terrorist group, based on its tactics and targets. Unlike Jaish al-Adl, the BLA has been intensely targeted by the Pakistani military, hence the US decision against the BLA was hailed by Pakistani authorities. The organization is active in Pakistan's western Baluchistan province, and claims to be fighting for the rights of the ethnic Baluch people. The US also declared the Baluchistan Liberation Army (BLA) a terrorist group.

"Just targeting anti-Iran groups won't be helpful the US needs to ensure Iran that it is not seeking regime change in the country," the analyst underlined. "It is a good sign that the Trump administration is not leaving any impression that it is promoting or tolerating any terrorist group, including those who seek to destabilize Iran," Fatemeh Aman from the Atlantic Council, a US-based international affairs think tank, told DW.Įxperts also point out that the decision to declare Jaish al-Adl a terrorist group could be seen as a signal to Tehran from Washington that the US was ready to make concessions to the Iranian regime.īut Aman is of the view that the designation move could have been more effective if supported by other US actions.

In November last year, Iran's Interior Minister Abdelreza Rahmani-Fazli warned Pakistan that Iranian forces could launch military operations inside Pakistani territory if Islamabad didn't act against the group. Jaish al-Adl's militant activities have been a bone of contention between the two neighbors for many years. Ties between the two countries have been tense over Islamabad's alleged support to anti-Shiite militant groups operating from its soil and its closeness to Iran's regional rival Saudi Arabia. Iran shares a 1,000-kilometer-long border with Pakistan. The region is known as home to drug smugglers, as well as Sunni militants, both of whom regularly clash with Iranian security forces.
