Balochistan

So today in Iran, there's two different Baluchi groups in Iran that are fighting the IRGC.

There are some Baluchis that are fighting the IRGC to create an independent nation, Baluchistan.

And then there are some Iranians that want to continue the Iranian state.

They just want to get rid of this Shia IRGC government, this despotic government that's in charge of them.

My theory, though, is... trump is the worst sore loser in the world he's going to get his ass kicked in the midterms everybody knows it he therefore the day after the election is over and it's clear he's lost he has five weeks to do whatever the hell he wants so he's going to do i think a massive aerial attack i think you know you could see something at pickaxe i think the israelis are going to do a sweeping attack on leadership And in Iran and the energy and probably the water infrastructure as well.

And I think at that point, at some point thereafter, in that five week period, you're going to see a cluster of American troops landing somewhere on Iranian territory, either the outlying islands or in that Shabahar, Balochistan region.

And I think the logic in Trump's mind is not that he can win or whatever victory looks like.

It's get us into this thing, commit troops on the ground.

MEK is another example.

They tried Al-Qaida in Iran and Balochistani terrorists also in Iran.

ISI was the middleman there.

But if you really trace back the money, it ultimately goes back to the United States and Israel every time.

Everybody kind of agrees that Iran is an existential threat.

Also ahead, a surge in armed attacks in Iran's southeastern province of Sistan and Balochistan.

Dozens of confrontations, scores of deaths, and a growing coalition of armed Baloch groups are now calling for political change across Iran.

Is this a regional insurgency or the beginning of something much bigger? And what about the Baloch people, who have endured decades of discrimination and repression?

You're talking to American officials.

You're also in the Knesset talking to Israeli officials.

What would that more severe look like? I mean, we've been seeing a lot of unrest recently, a lot of armed conflict with groups in Sistan, Balochistan, in Kurdistan.

In fact, there's been strikes by the Iranian regime into the PAK inside of Iraq.

And all of this is happening as Tehran struggles with the consequences of its war against the US and Israel, an economy in crisis and apparent mounting public frustration and anger.

According to a new investigation from Fox News, a coalition of armed opposition groups has emerged as a significant security threat in the predominantly Sunni southeastern provinces of Sistan and Balochistan and neighboring Kerman.

The coalition, known as the People's Fighters Front, has claimed responsibility for at least six attacks against government forces in recent weeks.

On October 7, militants attacked a police headquarters in the city of Jalek using explosives, rocket-propelled grenades, and gunfire.

18 incidents occurred during the final 18 days of the reporting period.

That's more than in any previous full month.

Conflict monitoring organization ACLED also reports that armed confrontations in Sistan and Balochistan have already reached their highest annual level in at least a decade.

and analysts at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies have been closely tracking these developments.

When we come into this country, the people hate Saddam so much, they're gonna like throw roses at us, right? Or in this case, I mean, there are people on Exeter saying, you know, the new plan is we're going to break up Iran.

We're going to separate Kurdistan and Balochistan.

Oh, that's great.

Sounds like a great

idea.

It's ridiculous.

But it might be in the White House's head that if we took Port Chabahar, then Balochistan will come to our side.

It's completely ridiculous, but...

... fearing Iranian attacks, especially as you get closer to possible strikes.

Plus, if they were, and I'm not saying this is the case, but if they were planning to escalate by doing some kind of a limited ground incursion in Balochistan, you would want those naval assets closer to the beachhead, uh, to provide support more directly.

So, um, if they are contemplating some kind of a landing in, in that sort of southern Balochistan area of Iran, that could be why they're moving there as well.

Um, it's, it, it's a possibility.

We can't say it's, it's not gonna happen.
