I honestly think this is a very simplistic appreciation of the situation. One has to think back on why Iran would back Baloch separatists. For those young in years, I should remind you that the use of Cobras against Baloch insurgents was not started in the 2000s, rather in the 1970s, when the Shah of Iran allowed the use of his gunships in support of the Pakistani Army to root out the sub-nationalists in Balochistan.
Iran's concern then and now is that if Baloch nationalists gain a foothold in Pakistan, Iran's own Balochistan and Sistan provinces would also be compromised. This calculation remains to this day as such I am not too sure that Iranians are hosting the Bugti and Marri leaders and planners. I am sure they are finding refuge in Iran because it is a big place but the bigger issue is their support and refuge in Afghanistan and foreign funding. Close to 500,000 Baloch have left for Afghanistan and were given space under the previous Afghan government for reasons knowns to all.
I think the reason the GoP does not come out publicly against Iran is because they too see that the intentions are not anti-Pakistani on the Iranian side, rather lack of will, incompetence etc. are getting in the way of locking down the border and inhibiting movement.
I tried my best to make sense of your arguments but cant really.
What happened in past, has no bearing in present situation. A lot of water has passed under the bridge. Pakistan border and its relations with Afghanistan were the best during first rule of Taliban. Does it mean that now they are back in power, we relax towards our border with Afghanistan? Whatever Shah was about, he was just serving his own nation interests , and now, today as we speak, he and his Iran is irrelevant. We are dealing with lunatics who are also high on delusions of grandeur about themselves. A dangerous yet suicidal combo.
Iran concerns? Why it should bother me, you or for any Pakistani for that matter? Our focus should be Pakistan and its interests only. And I can tell you, Pakistan and Iran interests are miles apart if not in direct conflict. Be it CPEC, Afghanistan, regional dominance etc. Iran should mind it's own business and area and ensure its borders and soil are not used to host these terrorists. If Iran can spread its proxies all the way to Yemen, syria , its generals and military men are getting gunned down outside the borders of Iran, you telling me that it cant manage its own soil and border? You add the Indians network on Iranian soil, housing of anti Pakistan ex Kabul regime northern alliance thugs, it's no coincident that After the fall of kabul, lot of these terrorists are gunned downed inside Iran by unknowns.
Why do you think ISI cheif went straight to Iran, not to Afghanistan after the recent terrorists incidents in Baluchistan?
Do you know why Uzair Baluch languishing in jail, the charge?
Uzair Baloch acquitted in Rangers killing case for ‘lack of evidence’
Alleged Lyari gangster has been exonerated from all charges in at least 20 criminal cases.

military court had awarded him 12-year imprisonment for spying for Iranian intelligence agencies.
These are jet black terrorists we are talking about with Iranian nationality.
Do you think the recent nabbing of Pakistani Shias working for Iran happened for no reason, considering the timing?
The game is much deeper. Ever wondered why Chahbahar was never targeted by yanks? This axis between Iran-India-northern Alliance has always sponsored terrorism against Pakistan, more recently, under the nose of American occupied Afghanistan.
Patriots of Pakistan know this, and there is extreme frustration which is building. The only reason that Pakistan decision makers are not publically putting Iran in its place and authorizing what needs to be done against iran, is this preconceived idea that it will cause reaction by Pakistani shias. Well, its about time to put this theory to test. Let the masks come off so we can deal with those whose allegiance do not lie with Pakistan.
We have bigger fishes to fry, cant be held up with these regional nuisances like Iran.
My little injun friend, go to sleep.
Son, I am here to educate you, it's for your own benefit.
