You are just wrong. There are provinces call Baluchistan in all 3 countries, because there are Baluch speakers in all 3 countries. The nation straddles 3 countries just as the Kurds do Iran, Iraq, and Turkey. If you tell a Turk that Kurdistan is a province of Iraq and only exists in Iraq, expect an earful.

The province called Baluchistan exists primarily in Pakistan. There are Baluchi people in Iran and Afghanistan but the regions they live in don't go by the same name. In any case, the numbers of Baluchis in both Iran and Afghanistan are outnumbered by those in Pakistan.

The area in Iran you are mentioning is a part of a larger province called Kerman or Sistan va Baluchestan.
