now look at the map clesly Iran is cornerred from all sides
Balouchistan from Pakistan
Helmand province from Afghanistan
Armenia and Azerbijan on top to
Turkmenistan innorth west
Iraq & Kurdistan in the east to
Gulf of Oman and Arabean sea in south and south east
earlier it was only worrying about south and south east or Iraq but after USA had left it has to face potential problems from Turkmenistan and of course Pakistan , Afghanistan east and south east and since Bashar/Russian Influence in gone in Syria Turkiye in north west while hyper activity in Azerbiajan potentially in immidiate north along with US influence in Armenia
and the Pakistan cant be counted out as Iran will be forced to use Pakistan against Afgans and central asians and anybody else for moeny and free petroleum products
