Thanks for your post. It is refreshing when grown ups talk so the rest can learn.Few things to clear:
An Agency operating in a country doesn't mean they're supported by the country. RAW also heavily operated in Pakistan itself during 60s-90s. So does it make sense that we sponsored them for our own destruction?
Come on guys they're the Intelligence, its their job to deceive. Kulbhoshan was a spy and he was tasked to remain discrete in Iran with a fake passport and identity. It doesn't mean that the Iranians had him sponsored.
About people here posting things regarding Savak.
I've read the whole book about those incidents and below are the points to note.
1: Every Intelligence has its spies working as Embassy staff in every country like the ISI in India and RAW in Pakistan
2: After the revolution, Iranian Intelligence kidnapped RAW officers under diplomatic immunity while they were trying to gather Intelligence on Kashmiri fighters based in Iran and to support Commies in Pakistani Balochistan
3: Iranian Intelligence tortured several Indian Agents while their ambassador failed to protect them
4: During the 90s and General Aslam Baig's tenure, ISI and Iranian Intelligence cooperated on peak for Kashmiri struggle. Masshad and Qom were full of training camps of Kashmiri Mujahideen and the Iranian Agents along with ISI were being pain in the azz for Indians in Kashmir
5: General Baig signed a secret pact with Iran that all Pakistani Air bases will be transferred to Iran in case of a full fledged war with India.
6: Iran had a complete brigade reserved to assist Pakistan in it's semi conventional or minor conflict with India
7: All these pacts and agreements were ignored/derailed when a pro Western leader Benazir Bhutto got elected in Pakistan. Not only she assisted the CIA against Iran but ignored all Pakistani Iranian pacts against India instructing ISI not to work with Iranian Agents in Kashmir which let India get some relief.
8: After Benazir, Nawaz Sharif got elected which further derailed the relations when 20 Iranian Air Force cadets were massacred in Pakistan during their journey. Later, Iranian Diplomat was gunned down in Lahore while cultural center torched in Karachi.
9: A complete conspiracy was set up by the Americans and Indians to keep Pakistan alone in the region and have solo operations in Kashmir since Indian couldn't handle 2 players like Iran and Pakistan in the valley despite having huge strength of troops.
Afterwards, Musharraf came into power who was an absolute Pro Western leader and upgraded the cooperation to a new level by assigning Spy bases to CIA in Balochistan against the Iranians.
During a Pakistan - Indian war, Iran will for sure issue neutral statements but behind the scenes give support to Pakistan. After all it is a muslim nation.
