Can Iran and Pakistan contain cross-border tensions? | Inside Story

Iran and Pakistan have launched attacks across their border and into each other's territory.
Both say they are targeting armed groups - and used 'national security' to justify their actions.
Armed groups in the Balochistan region have been launching attacks in Iran and Pakistan for years.
Both governments accuse the other of not doing enough to stop them.
But these latest unilateral military strikes have raised tension between the regional powers.
But what might the consequences be?
Presenter: Elizabeth Puranam
Guests
Ahmed Rashid, expert on armed groups in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia and is a former resident of Balochistan.
Maleeha Lodhi, veteran diplomat and columnist for the Dawn newspaper and website.

I am from Balochistan Pakistan and yes it’s the most underdeveloped area of the country. But everyone knows there is a lot of international interference. I believe US, Isreal and its allies don’t want Iran and Pakistan to be friends so it’s their game. I think Iran made a mistake and it realised it but then Pakistan was under a lot of pressure to respond. So both countries made silly mistakes and I hope now they unite together and fight their common enemy. And the first step would be to give the due rights to its deprived people of Balochistan. ❤Pakistan ❤Iran

I think the primary lesson is this: both nations should prioritize Balochi quality of life / integration into prosperity/power corridors of their nations... instead of blaming... that will diffuse the appeal of the extremist groups (which have a right to exist right now because they feel mistreated for too long) and in turn will diffuse the need for funding/support from CIA/Mossad... and if any strikes happen - always give your 'brotherly' nation a warning (even if it is last minute - it goes a long way).

Continue joint work and stay in ever lasting peace and brotherhood. Pakistan is not in much stress as Iran is. Our cause is same, don’t destroy it. Pakistan needs to accept its short comes and make sure not to cross red line. We can’t afford war with each other, bad outcome to both. Don’t depend on others for economic reason. They will not support Pakistan at all. Pakistan needs to live at his own feet and live within boundaries.

Both countries, especially Pakistan have to be just and fair with the Baloci people. As it was said, their natural resources are exploited but they do not get much benefit from it. In that scenario, resentments will brew and if their own government will not address them, they will go to anyone who will. They may not know who is paying them to retaliate but at a certain point they may not care. CIA paid them to attack the Chinese engineers working on CPEC. If you want your country to remain a cohesive unit, you have to give the same rights to everyone and everyone should benefit equally. Didn't they learn anything in 1971 when Bangladesh suceeded or what is happening now in Palestine.
