I knowIt's Brazilian product
PAF don't operate AGM 88.MAR-1 is Brazilian and has no US components. You need to look into what you are talking about before authoritatively posting nonsense. As it relates to suppliers, Mectron, who makes the MAR-1 is the biggest weapons supplier for the JF-17 outside of China and Pakistan. Both the MAR-1 and the MAA-1A and in the future the MAA-1B (reportedly letter of intent was signed) Piranah IR-guided Short Range A2A Missiles.
The PAF already operates AGM-88 HARM which would be the equivalent US missile, so not sure where you get off thinking that the MAR-1 or the LD-10 would be some new development for PAF. Usually the restriction on the export to Pakistan is on weapon types it does not already operate or possess (and PAF has both MAR-1, HARM and now LD-10) or big ticket items with political ramifications (F-16s, Frigates, OPVs, etc).
PAF needs multiple suppliers including US which provides among other things
Aim-120 AMRAAM (which it has more than 500)
AGM-88 HARM
AGM-154 JSOW
JDAM
AGM-84 Harpoon
Brazil: MAR-1, MAA-1A/B
South Africa: Raptor I/II (which became H2/H4), and in future possibly A-darter
And of course, China, which provides more weapons that we can count.

Wikipedia is not the best source for this. PAF does not have the AGM-88 HARM missile in its service and I am sure our F-16s have not been outfitted for the SEAD (Wild Weasel) role. The ones in USAF are designated as F-16CJ and are equipped with the HTS pod (HARM Targeting System). Some other countries do have HARM missiles, such as Egypt on its Block 40s,Turkey with Block 52s, etc... Any such sale of missiles/equipment to Pakistan would be in the open source had it ever happened.
Maybe you are thinking of AGM-65 Maverick?
