I would tend to agree, Iran must show some sort of resolute action so the Pakis take this seriously. The BLA (Baluch Liberation Army) is at war with the Punjabi army and will be happy to provide the GPS coordinates for a missile of drone strike on the Wahhabi terror camps. For more detailed information on the worsening situation in Paki occupied Baluchistan, there is plenty of info on the BLA and Baluch Warna websites.
