Pakistan - Iran News / Discussion

[El Sidd]

Pakistan is ready to bend backwards for Iran and do not require some financial incentives. As per former PM, Pakistanis would be speaking Persian had it not been for the Brits.

What does Iran think of the Pakistan-KSA defence pact, which is ostensibly for Israel but also includes Iran.

Khamenei adviser urges joining Saudi-Pakistan defense pact​

 

[hydrabadi_arab]

What is this blank cheque referring to?

Is Iran offering to mediate between India-Pakistan-Afghanistan?

1.Tehran seeks inclusion in the emerging KSA-Pakistan defence framework.
2.Joint border-management mechanism agreed.
3. Killing BLA/BRAs in Iran
4.Shared view: Afghanistan needs a regime change or a workable internal reset.
5.Pakistan given access to Chabahar region to monitor Indian activity.
6. Assurance that Chabahar won’t be used to aid Afghan Taliban or undermine Pakistan’s interests.”

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.

We have a choice, for example recognizing Israel and delivering arms and support to them, like sunni states.

Sounds about right.
This was a top level Iranian security guy visiting Pakistan. That's I think equivalent of Pakistan's ISI Chief--who happens to be the second most powerful person in Pakistan, right behind the Army Chief.
I think it is safe to say: India has lost the trust of even Iran. Modi's stupid foreign policy of not openly condemning Israel when Iran was attacked in June 2025, on top of the embrace of Israel when the Gazans were slaughtered continues to give the 'dividends' to India, though of negative returns.

Sure, GHQ jameder doing multiple daily prostrations in the direction of the holy pentagon will willingly invite their mai baaps' ire by letting Iranians into their little paper defense alliance thereby directly challenging the same mai baaps ability to strike and wage attacks on Iran.

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.

So we showed middle finger to Iran during the gas pipeline deal after they have completed their pipe and somewhat people are pissed that they had gone cold and warmedup with the Indians and now they are getting warm to us again but still it is their fault

The Iranian and Saudi sectarian proxy war was a shortsighted play of immature governments looking to extend their geopolitical reach beyond their means. Analogues to TTA's play.

The distrust between us has been primarily driven by internal Iranian machinations, leveraged on sectarian foolishness and aggravated by their unsubstantiated fears of our relations with the Saudis and Americans. Maybe the recent episode has made it a little more clear for them. We have no real conflicts of interest and both will be better served by a more amicable other. We should welcome it...cautiously, as all geopolitics goes.

We have a choice, for example recognizing Israel and delivering arms and support to them, like sunni states.

The horse ran away form under you. Better you climb down and re-evaluate your position.

Missing a few decades before that of sectarian violence in Pakistan supported by the Iranians and Saudis on opposite sides. Time to read history and also why the pipeline didn't go through.

Please keep in mind a cheque is only as good as the bank upon which it is drawn.

Or they can write a handwritten IOU when you go to withdraw.

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...

 

[VCheng]

Only if they are still trying to be nice at that point.

Or they can fire a missile or three, again.

 

[Master Chief]

While trump let Israelis kill 100s of Iranians, FM and co were nominating Trump for NP.
What a stand for Iran .
These are diplomatic gymnastics.Both sides issue these salty statements to maintain the status quo.

Didn't expect such an amateurish interpretation of political nuance from you.

 

[KingQamaR]

Is another Israeli attack looming for
Iranian President visit to Pakistan to mend and offer us better relations.

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.
