Bound by geography and divided by history, the two Islamic Republics remain uneasy neighbors.
This is what happens when two wounded states
share a border but not a vision.
Iran and Pakistan, both birthed by rupture,
both clinging to myths of pan-Islamic brotherhood
while quietly bleeding each other behind the curtain.
Saudi money funded madrassas,
Iranian funds built Shia militias,
each exporting theology like ammunition.
What you call “cold peace”
is really just a managed hostility,
a ceasefire between shadows.
And the Baloch people,
caught in the crossfire,
their bodies offered up for retaliation,
their names never remembered in peace talks.
