The day before they were brothers and they were practicing together; the day after, missiles and aircraft were attacking each other. This kind of plot that even cool novels dare not write about actually happened in reality! Yes, we are talking about Iran and Pakistan!
(Tactical missiles are Iran’s ace weapon and can use ballistic missiles to carry out “decapitation” operations. Russia is first and Iran is second)
According to news reports, on January 16, Iran and Pakistan engaged in military conflicts in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf. A joint naval exercise was held in the waters, but on the day of the exercise, Iran launched ballistic missiles across the border and struck two targets of the "Independence Army" of the armed organization in Balochistan Province of Pakistan. ; then on the 18th, the Pakistani military announced that the Pakistan Air Force The jf-17 fighter jet (the Pakistani name for the FC-1 "Fierce Dragon") crossed the border and carried out precision strikes on the "Balochistan Liberation Army" (bla) and the "Baloch Liberation Front" (blf) in Iran.
(Pakistan dispatched jf-17 this time to fight and dropped Beidou satellite navigation gliding bombs across the border to attack bla and blf in Iran)
This kind of joint exercise in the first second and mutual attacks in the next second is probably only It only appears in Shuangwen novels, but unexpectedly it appears in reality, and it is just in the west of our country. So, are the two countries Iran and Pakistan acting together, or have they really broken up? We can find the answer to this from the details of the mutual air strikes between the two countries:
(located in the "Balochistan" region between Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan)
First of all, the so-called "independence army" responsible for Iran's cross-border air strikes was a 2012 The external appeal of the armed group, which was only established in 2011, is to seek the independent establishment of a state in the Baluchistan region. This "Baluchistan region" spans the two countries of Iran and Pakistan. Therefore, if the so-called "Baluchistan" they demand is formally established as a state, Then it is undoubtedly equivalent to splitting Iran and Pakistan at the same time, so neither Iran nor Pakistan can agree. However, Pakistan's Baluchistan Province has a special status. This region has always practiced tribal autonomy, and the influence of the Pakistani central government cannot penetrate into the local areas at all. Therefore, this time Iran crosses the border to attack the "independence army", which is objectively harmful to both Iran and Pakistan. Advantageous .
(The Balochistan Liberation Army has repeatedly attacked Chinese people traveling and working in Pakistan, and almost killed the Chinese ambassador to Pakistan, so there are mysterious forces from the East that want to eliminate them)
Secondly, the "Balochistan Liberation Army" of the Pakistan Air Force's cross-border strikes "People's Liberation Army" (hereinafter referred to as bla), this operation is even more obvious, because friends who are familiar with China-Pakistan relations must know that most of the incidents of kidnapping or even killing Chinese people in Pakistan were done by this gang of bla. Because the boss behind bla is our other neighbor - India. The Indian intelligence agency has long-term support for bla in terms of funds and equipment, because India's goal is to try to use these local separatist forces to continue to divide and dismember Pakistan, thereby completely eliminating this old enemy.
(Iran has been subject to frequent terrorist attacks in recent years)
So the current situation is very interesting: Iran’s cross-border attacks are against Baloch separatist forces that are harmful to both Iran and Pakistan; while Pakistan’s cross-border attacks are funded by India Yes, the Baluch separatist forces that create obstacles for China and Pakistan every day can be summed up in one sentence: What the two countries jointly fight are the "Baluch separatist forces" . Let put it more straightforwardly: Iran and Pakistan attack each other, which is actually a mutual "borrowing knife to kill" operation .
(Due to its possession of a large number of advanced short- and medium-range missiles, Iran can effectively launch "missile beheadings" against neighboring countries)
The "Independence Army" is a terrorist organization recognized by Iran, and the organization itself is committed to dividing Iran and Pakistan and eliminating them It is undoubtedly beneficial to both countries, but since the "Independence Army" is in Balochistan, which the Pakistani army cannot enter, letting Iran come forward to bomb and destroy the "Independence Army" is undoubtedly the best way.At the same time, after Iran bombed the "Independence Army", Pakistan could also use this as an excuse to air-strike the bla and blf operating in Iran to "clear the door" for Iran.
(my country's largest investment project in Pakistan, Gwadar Port is in Balochistan Province, Pakistan)
In fact, there are a total of 4 countries that have benefited from 's fight against "Balochistan separatist forces" , in addition to the mentioned above, Iran and In addition to Pakistan , Afghanistan is also close to this area, so the fight against the Baloch separatist forces is objectively beneficial to the stability of southern Afghanistan. Of course, there is also an indirect beneficiary country, which is us China . Because when you open the map, you can see that the most important port we have invested in and built in Pakistan, Gwadar Port, is in the Balochistan Province of Pakistan. In the future, the China-Pakistan Railway will have to go directly through Balochistan to reach Gwadar Port. go! Therefore, when building the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, we should first clear up possible dangers to ensure the safety of the economic corridor.
(Iran and Saudi Arabia have reconciled, and there is no deep hatred with Pakistan, so they should reconcile! There is absolutely no reason to "fight each other")
This time Iran and Pakistan "fight", China's stance can be said to be thought-provoking. Regarding the "mutual fighting" between Iran and Pakistan, my country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Mao Ning said that China sincerely hopes that both sides can remain calm and restrained and avoid escalating tensions. "If both parties need it, we are also willing to play a constructive role in easing the situation." said very interestingly: "If there is need" for Iran and Pakistan, China can always come out to act as a "peacemaker." So are Iran and Pakistan just acting this time or are they really at odds? You should have the answer in mind.
(Iran and Pakistan held joint naval exercises)
One more point: After the "mutual fight" between Iran and Pakistan, Pakistan has announced a blockade of the border between the two countries, which actually allows the two countries' armies to enter in the name of rescue and stability maintenance. Areas that were previously inaccessible to each other will objectively help strengthen the control of the two countries' militaries over the territory, and can also enhance the two countries' capabilities to encircle and suppress their own domestic extremist organizations. In the end, India was probably the only one in a state of confusion: after all, no one could have imagined that if Iran and Pakistan "fighted" each other, India would be injured.
