Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir raised alarm over Baloch separatist and jihadist groups exploiting the Iran-Israel conflict during a meeting with US President Donald Trump. Pakistan fears instability along its 900-km border with Iran, with groups like Jaish al-Adl urging Iran’s Baloch population to join “the Resistance.” Islamabad condemned Israel’s strikes as violations of international law. Experts warned of a “Greater Balochistan” insurgency across Iran and Pakistan. Pakistan also expressed concern over Israel’s precedent of striking nuclear sites. Trump acknowledged Pakistan’s dissatisfaction, while both nations stressed peaceful resolution to the conflict threatening regional security. (PC: HT)
