#3  unrest in recent years

Um, does 800 AD count as recent? That seems to be when they started fighting with, amongst and between all and sundry.

#4 I take this as two possibilities:

* The Iranians may now have a nuclear deterrent.

* The Iranians may be trying to get the rumored Lost Pakistani Nuclear Weapon.

#5 Not mutually exclusive, of course.

#6 How will ISAF react to an Iranian ground incursion in AFG?

I don't think ISAF is operating that close to the Afghan-Iran border. I suspect the Iranians have a pretty good idea where ISAF assets are located.

Iran might also make a "courtesy notification" to the ISAF once its forces are in Afghanistan; whether or not the ISAF will notify the Afghan government is open for conjecture.

#7 Go for it! My enemy's enemy is still an enemy. What a dust-up that would be!

#8 whether or not the ISAF will notify the Afghan government is open for conjecture.
That's one way to put it. How much would pay like to make that call?

#9 Well, ISAF had better notify Afghanistan. After all, if there were an incident and Iranians got hurt, Obama would be upset that his new BFFs were attacked.

#10 The latest ...

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > PAKISTAN URGES IRAN TO RESPECT ITS BORDER - EXPRESS TRIBUNE.

IMO it looks like Nuke-armed Pakistan may be anticipating wilful, retaliatory cross-border limited incursions by Not-Nuke-armed Iran IRGC andor Quds Force in armed search of the Bad Boyz, to include by Tac Air + Drone???

The US-World are likely to remain more concerned about post-2014 Taliban-Militant control of Pak's Govt-Army + Nukes than agz Iranian ambitions.
