On 18 January 2024, Pakistan launched a series of air and artillery strikes inside Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan province, targeting Baloch separatist groups, codenamed Operation Marg Bar Sarmachar by Pakistan. The attack was launched in response to the Iranian missile strikes in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, one day earlier.
Marg Bar Sarmachar means “death to insurgents”. Marg Bar means “death to” in the Persian language, commonly used in the Iranian slogan Marg Bar Amrika. Sarmachar means “insurgents” or “guerrilla” in Balochi language; it is the term used by Baloch militants to identify its fighters.
