Seen news on this earlier, but from sounds of it, doesn't look like it would escalate into anything really. Neither Iran or Pakistan would benefit from this flaring up.
They both get to puff their chests and kill their common enemy balochs, but its a very serious escalation and risk of provoking a wider conflict. Easy enough for them to back away now with no serious damage, but any time countries are bombing each others mainlands its a short path to war
This also might put a damper on Iran's willingness to launch any more direct strikes in the near future like they've threatened against Israeli proxies, and stick to their houthi proxies. Pakistan showed that there will be immediate reciprocal escalation even from a country ill suited to airstrike exchanges
