Not exactly. Its Pakistan vs Baluchis, in this particular case.
The Baluchis are a minority group that live on both sides of the border but mostly in Pakistan. The Baluchis want independence from Pakistan (some of them anyway).
Baluchis are almost all Sunni- 99% or so.

Iran harbors Baluchi separatists.
Baluchis were deeply involved in Al Qaeda. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is a Baluchi.

Did John Belushi have Baluchi ancestry?

Golly, at least one other person (you) on this thread has some idea what’s going on! :-)

However, Iran has actually cracked down on the Baluchi separatists pretty hard. Just not hard enough to satisfy the Paks.
