Last week witnessed an unexpected development as Iran and Pakistan engaged in cross-border airstrikes, each claiming to target Baluch insurgent hideouts.

This could have easily been an incident where both Iran and Pakistan could have partnered together to eliminate Baloch separatists. Instead, they chose to launch missiles at each other. What does this tell us?

Experts find these attacks seemingly feckless, given that on the same day as Iran attacked Pak, joint naval operations were underway, and Iran’s foreign minister met with Pakistan’s caretaker prime minister at the World Economic Forum. Is there a possibility that these strikes were mere optics, and that there's something bigger at play between Iran and Pakistan?
