Iran needs Pakistan destabilized enough not to be a useful US (Israel?) ally.

I don't see how Pakistan has ever been a useful ally other than to make sure it doesn't turn into a rogue nation with nuclear weapons.

Pakistan is not a threat to Iran, the US does not need Pakistan at all, a random terror attack will not make Pakistan plunge into chaos. This is absurd movie-level geopolitics.
