Pakistan should have no problems with Iran hunting Baloch extremists in Pakistan.
Pakistan knows itself that it does not want to invest into improving border security with Iran. Anyone not believing this can turn on google maps and see the border region; for every Pakistani border fort there are 5 Iranian ones in between.
It's still not enough to secure the border so Pakistan should have no issues with Iranian UAVs tracking terrorists in the border region, more so because Baloch islamists are not in Pakistani interest.
So if Iran is ready to clean the area, while Pakistan can concentrate on its eastern border, why should they interrupt Irans efforts and destroy an helpful asset like a MALE UAV? Pakistan had no problems either with US drones cleaning the extremists to its north and they were not just doing surveillance.
It should have been a silent, friendly understanding, between Pakistan and Iran. However judging from the timing, a certain interest group, an anti-Iranian one, wanted to stop it.
It's perfectly in Pakistani interest that Iran spend the resources to secure the western borders so that Pakistan can invest everything to it crucial east, profiting for free from the additional surpassing of Baloch extremists.
However now that the rules of engagement are changed, both will loose for no real reason...
Saudis and CIA will benefit only by arming up Baloch islamists as proxy against Iran, creating a potential future problem for Pakistan...
