🇵🇰 Terrorists, refugees, and the Shia factor: Why Pakistan is closely watching the Iran war

Sharing a 900-kilometer border, Pakistan has significant cause for concern regarding the war in nearby Iran.

1️⃣ If the security situation on the other side deteriorates, cross-border movement of terrorist groups like the Balochistan Liberation Army and Balochistan Liberation Front into Iran would become easier, says Abdullah Khan, Director of the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies, in an interview with Sputnik.

Pakistan has long faced a separatist insurgency in its southwestern Balochistan province.

A similar insurgent movement also exists on the other side of the border in Iran.

Over the past year and a half, Pakistan and Iran had begun to strengthen their counterterrorism cooperation.

However, should the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or Iran's broader security structure collapse or become weakened, it would have a direct and destabilizing impact on the security situation in Balochistan, Khan said.

2️⃣ Pakistan is also bracing for a potential refugee influx if the situation inside Iran worsens.

Domestically, the country is already grappling with intense public protests, some of which have turned deadly in clashes with security forces.

3️⃣ With a sizable Shia population, Pakistan experienced a wave of popular outrage following Israel’s assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
