International Tensions Rise as Violence Erupts in Balochistan, Gaza, and Iran; Bus Crash in Turkey Kills Nine
International tensions escalated Sunday as violence flared in multiple regions, including Pakistan, Gaza, and Iran, while a deadly bus crash in Turkey claimed nine lives.
In Pakistan, a surge of violence in the southwestern province of Balochistan resulted in over 100 deaths this week alone, according to Al Jazeera. The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the attacks, asserting they are fighting for an independent Balochistan. The Pakistani government, however, blamed external enemies for the unrest. Raashid Wali Janjua was mentioned as a guest providing insight on how Pakistan will deal with the unrest in Balochistan.
Meanwhile, in Gaza, a group of eight Islamic countries condemned Israel for "repeated violations" of the ceasefire, Sky News reported. The condemnation followed Israeli airstrikes that killed at least 30 Gazans over the weekend. Further inflaming tensions, Israel's Diaspora Ministry announced plans to ban the medical aid charity Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières, according to Sky News.
In Iran, protester Erfan Soltani, who had been detained during protests on January 8, was released on bail, Sky News reported. Soltani's family had been informed that he faced a potential death sentence. US President Donald Trump had previously warned of "strong action" if Iran executed any protesters. Separately, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned of a "regional conflict" if the US attacked Iran, prompting President Trump to express hope for a deal with Iran, according to Sky News. Trump stated, "Why wouldn't he say that? Of course, he could say that."
In Turkey, a separate tragedy unfolded as an intercity bus crashed in Antalya province, killing nine and injuring dozens, Euronews reported. Local officials stated the bus rolled off the road after the driver, who died in the crash, failed to navigate a bend at high speed. Passenger Ahmet Kodaz described the moments before the accident, stating, "We were travelling from Isparta to Antalya. There was already fog on the road." A separate crash in Burdur killed seven more.
