Pakistan(/Iran)-Iraq War

In 1973 IOTL the Iraqi embassy in Islamabad was found to have weapons meant for Baloch separatists. Could this lead to a Pakistan-Iraq War, with Iran joining in as an ally of Pakistan?
 
You have Iran entering the war o the idea that Baloch separatism would spill over into Sistan Balochistan or whatever it was called then?
 
The shah had a working relationship with India, and off the books Israel. Now if Mossedegh had succeeded, another story.

Iraq was funding Baloch separatists to piss off Iran, so if Pakistan is going to war over this we can infer Iran already has.
 
I'm afraid I can't see the motive for Iran to join in. All I can think of is if the Iraqi embassy in Iran had weapons intended for Khuzestani rebels, and I don't see how that would work.

Well, ok then, but what if it was just Pakistan vs Iraq?

A bunch of naval skirmishes, and then a peace treaty which confirms Pakistani control over Baluchistan. And, well, that’s it.

A Pakistan/Iran-Iraq war would quickly become an Iraq-Iran war.
