US, UN Urge Pak, Iran To Show Restraint Amid Rising Middle East Tensions by Onechester: 10:43pm On Jan 18
Pakistan launched strikes on separatist
militants inside Iran on Thursday, in a
retaliatory attack two days after Tehran said it
struck the bases of another group within
Pakistani territory.

Washington DC: U.S. President Joe Biden said on
Thursday that the clashes between Iran and
Pakistan this week show that Iran is not well-
liked in the region as the White House said it
does not want to see an escalation.
Pakistan launched strikes on separatist
militants inside Iran on Thursday, in a
retaliatory attack two days after Tehran said it
struck the bases of another group within
Pakistani territory.
"As you can see Iran is not particularly well
liked in the region and where that goes, we're
working on now. I don't know where that
goes," Biden said.
The United States has been locked in a test of
wills with Iran over its support for Houthi
rebels in Yemen who have been launching
attacks against commercial shipping in the
Red Sea.
White House national security spokesperson
John Kirby told reporters on Air Force One as
Biden flew to North Carolina that Washington
is monitoring the Iran-Pakistan clashes
closely.
"We don't want to see an escalation clearly in
South and Central Asia. And we're in touch
with our Pakistani counterparts," Kirby said.
Kirby said the attack on Pakistan was another
example of Iran's destabilizing behavior in the
region.

Even Uncle SAM , a war monger is advising nations to exercise restraint?

I thought the rational thing was for these two to destroy each other and reduce the axis of evil to a dot (Syria) .
