I started to watch, a car camper video, I later got to know his real talent (he could climb mountains like a pro!)

that unfound talent that he later discovered was never a co-incidence

I still cant figure out, how I found out these chained events of his life!

Well, the issue is: That Indian lady in the video had an objective video of what's going on until she said 'Thief Praising Thief' while referring to Iran and Pakistan. WTH?!!!

These Indians can't help it, its now part of their identity to hate everyone and everything that say or does anything positive towards Pakistan, its a crisis and a plague that is rampant in Indian society which effects their govt, media, sports, movie industry, social media and general public.

Without using too harsh words, I believe this is a flaw in Indian diplomacy that trade relations with foreign countries are going to stop some countries from ignoring larger, longer geopolitical goals. China, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh and even Iran, to name a few, are willing to give at least equal, if not better, consideration to relations with Pakistan over India.
Not every nation thinks like a 'Banya' (Merchant).

When you need votes for a resolution against India in the UN or UNHCR or ICO, a lot of these countries are AWOL

At least @muhammed45 is already aware of Indians.
But all Iranians on PDF and elsewhere could benefit from the Indian channel video I posted above where the anchor said 'Thief' to describe both Iran and Pakistan.

at the end of the day, India has $600 billion in FOREX to pay for petroleum purchases. Say what you want, countries and their elites like to get paid for petroleum exports. a deadbeat like Pakistan has little leverage.

You can say Muslims should not care about economics, bla bla bla. When was the last time Pakistanis cared about Somalia, Niger, or Mauritania?

Whether India lost in May 2025 or not is largely immaterial: The world, perhaps even the Israelis, know the outcome of that conflict. A much weaker country in terms of population, economy, and military might like Pakistan stood its ground; even a 'stalemate' under those odds is a perceived 'victory'. And the global community is noting that. And thus I see Trump constantly heaping insults on India and I see Pakistani top leadership very active in international diplomacy since May 2025. And at least some of that will translate to tangible gains in economy and for Pakistan's defense.
All Pakistan needs now is stability, focus, and continuation of policies for the next 10-15 years. If Bangladesh achieved significant progress under a so-called 'Authoritarian', 'Corrupt' Hasina Wajid's 14 year rule then so can Pakistan. The major problem for Pakistan is not the military, or the politicians, or the corruption: It is the lack of peace and stability. One govt starts something and few years, another comes and stops that. Like starting to build a bridge and leaving it half done. Imagine the losses accumulated over the decades.
My focus for years, from the old PDF days, is a certain strategy for Pakistan: Stability, focus and continuation of policies. The rest will fall in place as Pakistan is put on that path. And I remain very optimistic that Pakistan is on that path in this 'do or die' situation.

You have the right ideas. The difference between Bangladesh and Pakistan is simple - Bangladesh did not have a bloated military. Under Hasina, Bangladesh had a working relationship with India and for that matter, China.

Pakistan went to the IMF in 2025.

In a world of tariffs, the risk to economic growth and investment is huge. you are being naive and optimistic here.

If we cared that much about economy then supporting anti Zionist elements would have become the greatest stupidity of whole Iranian history past 7,000 years.

If you cared about fighting Zionists, you would cease your oil exports to the rest of the world. It is the easiest way to remind the world.

This whole narrative being built that a pro Zionist Iran will somehow be a threat to Pakistan is bogus. For 40 years Iran was under a highly pro Zionist shah and guess what we had a great relationship with that Iran ..we were strategic partners under Cento. Hamid mir et al have been pushing this narrative . I don’t think regime change in Iran will have any impact in Pakistan if you look at history

Dar expresses hope for peace, stability in Iran in phone call with Araghchi: FO​


News Desk
January 17, 2026

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar expressed his hope for peace and stability in Iran on Saturday, the Foreign Office (FO) said.

According to a post by the FO on X, Dar spoke with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in a phone call in which the two diplomats discussed the current situation in Iran and the wider region.

Dar “expressed hope for peace and stability, and both sides agreed to continue bilateral consultations on matters of mutual interest”, the statement added.
 
On Thursday, Pakistan had expressed hope at the United Nations Security Council for an early normalisation of the situation in Iran, which saw its largest demonstrations in years, challenging the country’s government.

Ambassador Asim Ahmad described Iran as a “brotherly country”, saying that the people of the two nations share deep-rooted historical, friendly, cultural and reli
gious bonds.

Protests have taken place across Iran in a movement sparked by anger over the rising cost of living, leading to authorities imposing internet restrictions.

US President Donald Trump had repeatedly threatened to intervene in support of protesters. However, monitors reported that the protests have subsided after a crackdown by security forces, while Trump declared that he had decided not to attack the country.

Meanwhile, the same day, FO spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said that instability in neighbouring Iran did not suit Pakistan, underscoring that calm and stability in Iran were directly linked to Pakistan’s own interests. He also said that Pakistan was engaging with Washington on the issue of tariffs being imposed on countries conducting trade with Iran.
 
I truly hate this poster I mean the tread-starter. You have been undoing Pakistan´s regional footing.

Iran never wanted to be friends with us period. Hence you doing the wrong azz kissing.

The Saudis, Gulfies, The Arabs and Turkey understand Iran and what it is all about but the Pakistanis do not somehow
