🚨🇮🇷❌🇵🇰 - Iran’s IRGC-linked Tasnim News Agency reports that Iranian forces killed several militants belonging to Jaish al-Adl, claiming they “infiltrated from the Pakistan border into” Iran.

Jaish has long been accused by Iran’s IRGC of acting as an arm of Pakistan’s ISI in a broader proxy conflict between the two countries.

In 2016, Jaish al-Adl kidnapped an Indian naval commander and spy, Kulbhushan Jadhav, from Sarbaz, Iran and reportedly traded him to Pakistan's ISI, who is still in Pakistan's custody.

🇵🇰🪖 - Pakistan's army has spent seventy-eight years deploying its soldiers across the world, to Gulf palaces, UN peacekeeping missions, Libyan arms deals, and now a Saudi air base, without a single parliamentary vote on any of it. The institution that accomplished all of this is also the country's largest commercial conglomerate, its most powerful political actor, and the entity that has determined the tenure of every elected prime minister since independence. The export has been very good specifically for the army.

235,000+ Pakistani troops have served in 48 UN missions across 29 countries over 6 decades.

At its peak (late 70s–80s), 50,000–60,000 Pakistani military personnel were deployed in 22 countries simultaneously — the largest Third World military export ever recorded.

The business model in 78 years never changed: Pakistan sends bodies, territory & expertise → wealthy states send money, equipment & political cover.

The Army's commercial arm, Fauji Foundation, is now worth $5.9 billion — the single largest commercial entity in Pakistan, bigger than every civilian business group.
