Abstract

Balochistan, Pakistan, a region adjacent to Sistan and Balochistan province, is one of the most important geographical origins of ethnic and sectarian movements in South Asia and the Middle East, which is of double importance in terms of the number and volume of activities of the active movements there. Some ethnic and sectarian movements and groups, by pursuing anti-security measures, have been able to influence security in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and also Iran, and have been active and taking measures at this level. This paper attempts to analyze and explain, from the perspective of the impact of mutual factors, the latest developments, actions, and performance of sectarian movements in Balochistan, Pakistan, in order to introduce the extent of the impact of these factors on the security of the border regions of eastern and southeastern Islamic Iran. The data collection method in this research is based on a library model, holding an expert meeting (with the presence of ten specialized experts related to the subject), and using up-to-date and international resources. On the other hand, an attempt is made to examine and explain the extent of the influence and susceptibility of factors branching from these groups on the security of the Islamic Republic of Iran using the theoretical framework of futures studies (interacting factors matrix). The validity of the findings of this paper is due in the first step to the extensiveness of relevant sources and references, and in the next step to the confirmation and correction of the expert team.
