So does Iran, looks like. This is the first war they’ve started that isn’t proxy.

Perhaps missiles like in the movie Dr. Strangelove.

THis exchange involves dispute over tribal lands. The Iranians,Baloch Separatists ( The ancestral lands of deceased comedian John Belushi), want to go back to the old Persian boundaries.The Pakis are having none of it.



Read here:

‘We declare war on Pakistan’: Who are the Baloch separatists targeted in Iran A tit-for-tat exchange of airstrikes between Iran and Pakistan has ignited tensions in the region, with a Baloch separatist group declaring "war" on Islamabad following targeted attacks on its alleged hideouts inside Iranian territory.

This indicates the weakening of the central mullah authority from Tehran.

So you’re saying we might not be the ones to make the area a glass parking lot? Whew I guess we saved some money in our budget by not sending our own nukes.

“Iran may very well have nukes also

My theory has always been that the first use of Islamic nukes will be against other Muslims. Some in the West see Islam as all alike. But a finer grain picture is they more closely resemble the schism in the Catholic/Protestant world in the Middle Ages. There were long wars over who would rule Christendom. Think of the most recent Hamas attack on Israel. While Iran supported the attack, they won’t get involved because they’ve repeated that Hamas are apostates and should die. Whether they should die before or after the Great Satan is up for grabs.

Thing is that the basic tenants of Christianity allowed them to eventually work things out and coexist. There are no allowances for compromise or coexistence in Islam. An Israeli Prime Minister once said, “If there were no Jews to focus hate on, Islam would be forced to invent us.”

Belushi was of Albanian descent on both sides of his family. He was Eastern Orthodox. He was not in any way connected with Balochistan.

Really??
 

 
Born in Chicago to Albanian-American parents, Belushi started his own comedy troupe with Tino Insana and Steve Beshekas, called "The West Compass Trio". 
 
 
John Adam Belushi was born to Agnes Demetri (née Samaras) Belushi[4][5] and Adam Anastos Belushi[6][7] in Humboldt Park, a neighborhood on the West Side of Chicago, Illinois. Agnes, a pharmacy worker,[4] was born in Ohio to Albanian immigrants from Korçë,[8] while Adam was an Albanian immigrant from Qytezë,

I'd suggest a wee bit earlier - when the EO split away from Rome.

Especially the Shia/Sunni divide.
There had been suicidal attacks on each other mosques, clerics advocating killing of each other, etc.
There is also a radical/moderate divide (most Muslims are actually moderates, but scarred to death of the radicals!)
and the national and regional divides.

CIA World Factbook2011Almost all Iranians as Muslim, with 90–95% thought to associate themselves with the official state religion – Shia Islam – and about 5–10% with the Sunni and Sufi branches of Islam.[111]
 
 
 
 
 
 

A few aspects of secularism have also been adopted by Pakistani constitution from British colonial concept.[9][11][12][13][14] 

Muslims comprise a number of sects: the majority practice Sunni Islam (estimated at 90%), while a minority practice Shia Islam (estimated at 10%).[17][18][19]
