In a secret meeting that could reverberate across the geopolitical fault lines of South and West Asia, senior operatives of Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad met with Mir Yar Baloch, spokesperson for exiled Baloch separatist leader Hyrbyair Marri, in the basement of an elite Washington D.C. think tank on the night of May 28, 2025. According to well-placed sources, the lengthy closed-door discussion culminated in a controversial understanding: if Israel provides financial, media, and operational support to separatist factions in Balochistan, the alliance of Baloch militant groups commonly referred to as Fitna al-Hindustan will facilitate Israeli strategic access to Gwadar Port.
The Gwadar offer was positioned as the linchpin of the proposal, with Mir Yar suggesting that unrest in the province would drive Chinese investors away and make Israel a “natural partner” in the ensuing vacuum. As a “sweetener,” Mir Yar pledged that the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) would launch a carefully orchestrated wave of international protests under the banner of human rights, aimed at highlighting enforced disappearances and alleged exploitation of local resources under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). These demonstrations would then be amplified globally by Mossad-controlled media assets to isolate Pakistan diplomatically and create external pressure on its security institutions.
Within two weeks of this meeting, Mir Yar was formally appointed Special Advisor to the Balochistan Studies Project under the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) a Washington-based organization with longstanding affiliations with Israeli intelligence circles. The project has since begun outreach campaigns and fellowship offers to young Baloch activists, many of whom are being recruited for ideological reprogramming and specialized low-intensity conflict training in Israel.
This covert alliance emerges at a time of high regional volatility. On June 13, Israel launched sweeping aerial strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, triggering a retaliatory missile barrage that rocked Haifa and Tel Aviv. By June 16, the conflict had escalated to the point where Israel ordered civilian evacuations from northern Tehran, signaling a shift toward a full-spectrum regional war. Against this backdrop, Mossad’s growing footprint in Balochistan reflects a larger Israeli strategy: to expand the battlefield deep into Iran’s western periphery by destabilizing Pakistan, Tehran’s key eastern neighbor, and constraining Iran’s diplomatic and logistical maneuverability.
India, a longstanding strategic ally of Israel and one of its largest arms customers, is reportedly a silent stakeholder in this arrangement. New Delhi continues to procure high-tech systems from Tel Aviv—ranging from Barak 8 air defense batteries to advanced surveillance drones—and is actively exploring proxy collaboration models to project influence across the region. Analysts say the Mossad-BLA-BYC nexus is effectively an extension of this Indo-Israeli entente, combining Israel’s global media and intelligence infrastructure with India’s established funding pipelines and regional intelligence networks.
Pakistani authorities have previously accused New Delhi of supporting the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), with Islamabad’s Ministry of Defence publicly presenting evidence of Indian financing and logistical support for these groups. The hijacking of the Jaffer Express in March 2025 an incident that made international headlines—was also linked to Indian facilitation. A detailed dossier outlining these connections was submitted by Pakistan to the United Nations earlier this year. In this context, Mossad’s engagement with Baloch separatist groups represents a dangerous escalation in what many are calling a hybrid proxy war against Pakistan.
Under the Balochistan Studies Project, young activists are being brought to the United States under the guise of academic scholarships. These recruits are then exposed to intensive narrative workshops aimed at reframing their political orientation and aligning them with a broader anti-state agenda. Select individuals are reportedly sent to Israel for training in sabotage, propaganda, and asymmetric warfare. Upon their return, they are tasked with organizing protests under the BYC banner and launching synchronized social media campaigns designed to provoke international condemnation of Pakistan’s counterterrorism operations.
This model of hybrid warfare has already been observed. In both the March hijacking of the Jaffer Express and the recent attack on Sorab police station, local operatives used live social media feeds to manipulate public perception in real-time, framing state retaliation as disproportionate and inhumane. The effectiveness of this real-time propaganda underscores the sophistication of the campaign and the scale of foreign involvement.
The strategic stakes are enormous. Gwadar is not merely a Pakistani deep-sea port—it is the maritime anchor of CPEC, which grants China direct access to the Arabian Sea. Israeli ingress into this port would threaten Beijing’s broader Belt and Road ambitions, challenge Iran’s geopolitical leverage via Chabahar, and provide Tel Aviv with surveillance access to key Gulf energy corridors. Security analysts warn that this would alter the balance of power across the Indian Ocean, empowering Israel to pressure Tehran through multi-domain encirclement.
The operational blueprint revealed during the Washington meeting reportedly consists of four escalating phases. First, the BYC will front a global campaign around alleged human rights violations in Balochistan, timed to coincide with international diplomatic forums. Next, the BLA and BLF will launch coordinated attacks on Pakistan’s critical infrastructure—including railway lines, oil pipelines, and the Gwadar Airport—aimed at discrediting the state and frightening off foreign investment. In the third phase, Israeli and Indian think tanks will host international seminars under the guise of “Baloch rights,” pushing for sanctions and policy pressure against Pakistan. The final phase is expected to unfold during an anticipated Israeli-Iranian military climax, during which Pakistan would face dual pressures: international demands to sever ties with Tehran and internal destabilization from insurgency and unrest.
The strategy is clear: to fracture Pakistan from within, isolate it internationally, and sever its strategic alignments with China and Iran—thereby redrawing the regional map in favor of Tel Aviv and New Delhi.
As the outlines of this covert alliance come into sharper focus, Pakistan’s security apparatus faces an urgent challenge: how to counter a hybrid war that spans battlefields, boardrooms, and broadcast studios. With the stakes extending from Balochistan to Beijing and Tehran to Tel Aviv, what is at risk is not only national security—but the future equilibrium of an entire region.
