Parsis or Parsees are an ethnoreligious group of the Indian subcontinent adhering to Zoroastrianism. They are descended from Persians who migrated to Medieval India during and after the Arab conquest of the Persian Empire in order to preserve their Zoroastrian identity. The Parsi people comprise the older of the Indian subcontinent's two Zoroastrian communities vis-à-vis the Iranis,whose ancestors migrated to British-ruled India from Qajar-era Iran. According to a 16th-century Parsi epic,Qissa-i Sanjan,Zoroastrian Persians continued to migrate to the Indian subcontinent from Greater Iran in between the 8th and 10th centuries,and ultimately settled in present-day Gujarat after being granted refuge by a local Hindu king,Jadi Rana.

India–Iran relations are the bilateral relationship between the Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Independent India and Iran established diplomatic relations on 15 March 1950. However,ties between both ancient Persia and ancient India date back millennia. During much of the Cold War,relations between India and the erstwhile Imperial State of Iran suffered due to their differing political interests:India endorsed a non-aligned position but fostered strong links with the Soviet Union,while Iran was an open member of the Western Bloc and enjoyed close ties with the United States. While India did not welcome the 1979 Islamic Revolution,relations between the two states strengthened momentarily in its aftermath. However,Iran's continued support for Pakistan in the India–Pakistan conflict and India's close relations with Iraq during the Iran–Iraq War greatly strained bilateral ties. In the 1990s,both India and Iran supported the Northern Alliance against the Taliban in Afghanistan,the latter of which received overt Pakistani backing and ruled most of the country until the 2001 United States-led invasion. They continued to collaborate in supporting the broad-based anti-Taliban government,led by Ashraf Ghani and backed by the international community,until the Taliban captured Kabul in 2021 and re-established the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. India and Iran signed a defence cooperation agreement in December 2002.
The Insurgency in Balochistan is an insurgency or revolt by Baloch nationalists and Islamist militants against the governments of Pakistan and Iran in the Balochistan region,which covers the Balochistan Province in southwestern Pakistan,Sistan and Baluchestan Province in southeastern Iran,and the Balochistan region of southern Afghanistan. Rich in natural resources like natural gas,oil,coal,copper,sulphur,fluoride and gold,this is the largest,least populated and least developed province in Pakistan. Armed groups demand greater control of the province's natural resources and political autonomy. Baloch separatists have attacked civilians from other ethnicities throughout the province. In the 2010s,attacks against the Shia community by sectarian groups—though not always directly related to the political struggle—have risen,contributing to tensions in Balochistan. In Pakistan,the ethnic separatist insurgency is low-scale but ongoing mainly in southern Balochistan,as well as sectarian and religiously motivated militancy concentrated mainly in northern and central Balochistan.
The Iran–Pakistan gas pipeline,also known as the Peace pipeline,or IP Gas,is an under-construction 2,775-kilometre (1,724 mi) pipeline to deliver natural gas from Iran to Pakistan.
The 1970s operation in Balochistan was a five-year military conflict in Balochistan,the largest province of Pakistan,between the Pakistan Army and Baloch separatists and tribesmen that lasted from 1973 to 1977.
Iran and Pakistan established relations on 14 August 1947,the day of the independence of Pakistan,when Iran became the first country to recognize Pakistan. Both sides continue to cooperate economically where possible and are forming alliances in a number of areas of mutual interest,such as fighting the drug trade along their border and combating the insurgency in the Balochistan region.
