Iran Pakistan Relationship / News

[WarKa DaNG]

It was Zardari govt's stupid idea to think Americans were going to ignore the Iran-Pakistan pipeline. When Americans did not ignore, Pakistan had no choice but to back off.
People here sometimes forget economic dependence Pakistan has in America/allies and GCC/allies. But I don't think Pakistanis are blaming Iran for the anything now and vice versa--on the contrary.
Change is the only Constant. I don't dwell too much in the past and that makes me less of a cynic then many here. I keep connecting the dots... and keep refining my understanding of the world based on the new Scatter Charts. And so on...

Spot on, tbh i am very happy to have a friendly neighbour as we are already knee deep in mud with the two of our neighbours and dont want any more headaches

We damn well know this has nothing to do with Israel and its takeover of Palestine because Iran has had no issues with India and its oppression on Kashmir and its Muslims.

In fact Iran voted in the UN for India in the 90s.

Iran was trying to surround Saudi Arabia. Syria, Lebanon, Yemem and attempt on Iraq. They were trying to encircle Saudi Arabia with its proxies.

If Israel didn't challenge this then Iran would never have bothered with Israel and continued to give lip service about Palestinians.

Iran's behavior can remain the same and all its problems can disappear tomorrow, if it makes only one change, and that is accepting Israeli/American hegemony in the Mideast and becoming another of their b*****s.

Lip service is what Pakistan, GCC and everybody else pays to the Palestinians.

Look at the writing of Hamas word. He has used Jewish spelling

yes it a common joke we say to make fun of how Israelis say it

What is the problem with supporting oppressed Sunni Muslims?

I haven't forgotten when you unfairly insulted the Sunni caliphs for no reason and interestingly you did it when ISIS attack on Syria was at its peak point. Why?

An other blunder from Pakistani moderators and the so called Iranian moderator is giving people like you the space to speak.

Why should we support sunni arabs while they try to kill us and still claim our territory (Saddam, UAE, Saudi etc) and buy parties/countries to vote against us (Somalia).

We should not fight them, nor should we support them. They are literally working for and with US and Israel. Who are we to support them? We are neither arabs, nor sunnis.

We've done more than enough while being killed and backstabbed. If we support them it should be only in a collective form, else let Greater/Eretz Israel expand into Syria and Jordan, not our problem.

I dont care about any caliphs, be it shia or sunni (they have 0 value for me). We're moving in a direction to put Iran and Iranian interest first.

You have to accept your ideological and cultural defeat inside Iran, after 46 years. Islamic republic was your last resurrection in Iran within the last 1400 years.

Khamenei adviser urges joining Saudi-Pakistan defense pact​

I find that odd, but I guess we will see.

What is the problem with supporting oppressed Sunni Muslims?

Because this isnt the 8th century anymore. Sunnis worldwide actually have their own nations now and those nations are responsible for their well being.


Khameneis cult followers have zero right to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries. And dont pretend you ''forgot'' the dozens of hostile acts against Pakistan including violating Pakistani sovereignty by dragging Pakistani citizens into your proxy wars.


You are honestly lucky Pakistan is letting this slide so easily. And they are doing it only because of the deep Persian cultural and Islamic ties between the two nations otherwise any other country in Pakistans position would have crushed the IR for what it has done.


And its not just Pakistan. Saudi Arabia has also shown incredible restraint. So have almost all Sunni Arab and Muslim countries.


You have no idea how lenient these nations have been with your beloved Islamic Republic.

And I forgot to mention Trump's recent warming up to Pakistan--however transitory that may become-- especially compared with Trump's first administration. Then there are also Pakistan and other GCC countries rapidly improving relationships.

Look at 19 countries that constitute the G-20 and ask yourself when was the last time heads of government/state from those countries ever showed up in Pakistan

 

[hydrabadi_arab]

They don't have a choice, Israel are breathing down their necks.

We know they have used Pakistanis for their proxy wars and turned a blind eye to BLA in the hope they would collapse Pakistan through collaboration with India.

Pakistan forgiving and merciful as always.

The sooner muslim world realize Pakistan is only islamic country who's existence is guaranteed till qayamat the better it will be for them. Iran after taking a beating from Israel is coming to their senses and we should welcome it.

it is becoming increasingly important for the countries in the region to band together, due to our shared islamic religion, traditions and alot of mixed culture. It makes things easier, and its the obvious natural path for these islamic countries.
The new order and blocks are being formed and its important for both Iran and Pakistan to be on the right side of things, for a shared region and future.

Regardless of geopolitics, our collective SAFETY lies in these countries working together and not against one another, no matter what sect we happen to be born in. We are all basically the same, very similar.
The people in both countries (Pakistan and Iran) care about each other and it is always a concern when one is attacked by other enemies.
When Pakistan was under attack by india, i'm sure the Iranian people prayed for Pakistan, and similarly Pakistanis were cheering for Iranian defenses and missiles when it was hitting the zionists.

I hope these meetings lead to even more cooperation and further improvement in the workings between our 2 nations.

Pakistan and Iran, both Zindabad.

Tbf the current PAK-US diplomatic revival is purely an economic one for now that isn't really any different then Iranians have been doing with India.

What does a narco-remiitances-mafia state have any economic value to offer any trading partner?

 

[Guynextdoor]

It means ISI have full access in Chabahar to keep an eye on your Kulbhushans.

You think so buddy? Chabahar is now half the Tonnage of Karachi port and the fastest growing port in the region. India has commited to Iran it will be far bigger than Karachi and has ensured nearby Gawadar remains dead in water. You really think Iran will jeopardize this massive economic asset for your friendship?

 

[MH.Yang]

Iran's relationship with India begs the question. Why would the Iranian government want to develop such a close relationship with an ally of Israel?

 

[Samurai]

I have no issues with Iran... If they can solve the misunderstandings regarding the Baluchistan insurgency with Pakistan and develop a framework mechanism to share intel and conduct joint COIN ops to keep both sides of their border secure, then its a fair good deal tbh. The other thing Pakistan should consider is nurturing economic relations with Iran, because that would offset the trade imbalance with Afghanistan and Iran can provide Pakistan with a lot including energy, like for e.g. the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline has been in limbo because of fear of sanctions. Iran has a big history and its people are descendants of the ancient civilizations and having such a culturally rich neighbor is a benefit. I believe Pakistan should be closely aligned with both Saudi Arabia and Iran which will also help foster relations between both and Pakistan can play a role in that.

 

[Meengla]

Look at 19 countries that constitute the G-20 and ask yourself when was the last time heads of government/state from those countries ever showed up in Pakistan

Because Pakistan's economy and security situation has been really bad. But things are definitely turning around now, especially in geopolitics. As I said above, the only constant in the world is change.

The people in both countries (Pakistan and Iran) care about each other and it is always a concern when one is attacked by other enemies.
When Pakistan was under attack by india, i'm sure the Iranian people prayed for Pakistan, and similarly Pakistanis were cheering for Iranian defenses and missiles when it was hitting the zionists.

Right. People who were following the press of both countries could tell the support you are mentioning.

You think so buddy? Chabahar is now half the Tonnage of Karachi port and the fastest growing port in the region. India has commited to Iran it will be far bigger than Karachi and has ensured nearby Gawadar remains dead in water. You really think Iran will jeopardize this massive economic asset for your friendship?

Chahbahar's success doesn't hurt Karachi port and may well benefit Gwadar by Gwadar becoming some kind of 'spill-over' or 'sister port'. Also, you would be mistaken to think Iran is going to support India against Pakistan especially now.

Iran's relationship with India begs the question. Why would the Iranian government want to develop such a close relationship with an ally of Israel?

India has a large economy; I think ten time Pakistan's size. Countries can't ignore their commercial benefits. I don't blame them. Only some fools here would want Pakistan to jeopardize Pakistan's vital trade relations with the West over Palestine.

I have no issues with Iran... If they can solve the misunderstandings regarding the Baluchistan insurgency with Pakistan and develop a framework mechanism to share intel and conduct joint COIN ops to keep both sides of their border secure, then its a fair good deal tbh.

"Misunderstandings" is the operative word. Neither country wants a restive border because it is not in their interests.
