Well, isn't this just ducky? Now Iran and Pakistan are verging on war

Whoa-jeez, this is getting dangerous:

Multiple reports are indicating that Pakistan has conducted cross-border strikes against Baloch militants based in Iran.
Pakistan wasted little time in trying to restore deterrence after Iran's strike on Pakistan-based militants on Tuesday.

Dangerous situation for multitude of reasons, primarily Pakistan is nuclear power & Iran struck deep in its territory on Tue.

Islamabad is close to Saudi, UAE who are also impacted by Iran’s escalation. US condemned Tuesday’s attack.

Unclear where this goes

(2/6) #Iran is being overtly aggressive and perusing a an independent and ‘rogue’ #foreign policy. We see this in their increased support for H@mas, #Hezbollah & the #Houthis of #Yemen - now with their provocation through the military attacks in #Pakistan https://t.co/LVMdDG3tD8

(4/6) #Saudi is realpolitiking for regional safety and increased influence. Another conflict in the region is not good for business. https://t.co/ZvFGLjgrWH

(6/6) And #Pakistan is a post #colonial proxy zone and essentially a failed state — caught in the middle of a power shift— having a battle of the new order play out within its territory. https://t.co/lIUjLpD4Ld
