INT'L MOD
I had a run-in with a landlord who owns a house next to me. His tenant kept on throwing rubbish over into my garden. Having had enough I decided to throw a petrol bomb into the house of the landlord and managed to burn the tenant alive. The landlord should be ok with It I did him a favor, he was causing trouble. I didn't tell him what I was going to do, but it should be all ok.
But the issue is Iran doesn't see it as "throwing rubbish" w.r.t this tenant group, rather it was firebombing from that tenant (Jaish al-adl).
Especially if Iran has somehow connected the group with the Kerman bombing recently....past the previous attacks they have alleged coming from it....and what Iran says is Pakistan inaction on these matters.
The boldness doesn’t come out of nowhere - and while there is national character a bit it also involves signals from your diplomatic corps and intel services. But at the end it is also possible it was one wayward IRGC commander taking initiative of vague orders to hit back.
Very unlikely it was a wayward IRGC commander. Just look at the Iranian response after these events. They would be using quite different language if it was some level of mess-up from their side given sizeable power level of Pakistan (relative to Iraq, Syria et al).
In any case, with Iran's statements thus far, Pakistan cannot assume it to be a mess up but direct action formulated from the Iranian state.
