Pakistan fears militants will thrive on restive border if Iran destabilised

Pakistan fears that the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran could destabilize its border region, potentially creating ungoverned spaces for separatist and jihadist militants. Concerns are mounting over the possibility of a "greater Baluchistan" movement emerging, uniting various Baluch groups from Pakistan and Iran. This situation is further complicated by China's concerns regarding the security of its investments in Balochistan.
