Iran attacked Pakistan, privately negotiated? It is a big problem for China

Iran has recently launched frequent ballistic missile strikes in the Middle East against what it considers hostile targets. Iran's missile targets include Israeli intelligence stations in Iraq and terrorist strongholds in Syria, as well as U.S. consulates in Iraq. These actions provoked strong reactions from Iraq and Pakistan, both of which accused Iran of violating its sovereignty and international law, and demanded that Iran stop interfering in its internal affairs. But from another perspective, Iran's actions are also conducive to the security and stability of both countries, and even solve a difficult problem for China.

Iraq's position is delicate, with demands on the withdrawal of U.S. troops on the one hand, and Iran's missile attacks on the other, as if trying to balance the relationship between the two sides. In fact, Iraq does not want the United States and Israel to intervene in its own country, and only makes a gesture of condemnation for the sake of face. Iran's missile attack also helped Iraq clear up some trouble, because Israeli intelligence posts and terrorist groups in Syria are threats to Iraq. Iraq and Iran already have close religious and political ties, and cooperation between the two countries is far more beneficial than confrontation.

Pakistan's position is also interesting: on the one hand, it strongly condemns Iran's violations of its airspace and territory, and on the other hand, it has strengthened cooperation with Iran in the field of energy and power, and has also held joint naval exercises with Iran. This shows that there was prior communication and coordination between the two countries, and that Iran's military action was likely acquiesced in by Pakistan. Because Pakistan is also plagued by Baloch forces, which often operate on the border between the two countries, posing a threat to the security of the two countries. Iran's strike can be regarded as clearing up some of Pakistan's troubles. Of course, Pakistan cannot openly support Iran's actions, after all, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are close allies and cannot get too close to Iran, so Pakistan can only make some symbolic condemnations.

Finally, it should be mentioned that the actions of Iran and Pakistan have also solved a big problem for China. Because some terrorist groups in Balochistan have been sabotaging and attacking Chinese projects and personnel in Pakistan, especially against important projects along the southern route of the "Belt and Road". Pakistan has revealed that these terrorist groups are lackeys of the United States, India and Israel, whose aim is to obstruct cooperation between China and Iran. It seems that Iran is ready to strike at these terrorist groups.
