Pakistan Is The Key To Better Iran And Saudi Arabia Relations

The Pakistani Chief of Army Staff is reportedly making an urgent trip to Iran as tensions are rising. After Iran fired five mortar shells into Pakistan last Sunday in response to Islamabad’s participation in a summit led by U.S. President Donald Trump and hosted by Iran’s rival Saudi Arabia, cracks in their decades-long friendship deepened.
Pakistani Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa is making an urgent trip to Iran to address the Muslim nation’s concerns regarding Pakistan’s participation in the event and Islamabad’s joining the so-called Muslim NATO, a military coalition led by Saudi Arabia, according to SAMAA, which cites a reliable source.
While details of General Bajwa’s visit to Iran are being kept under wraps, the source revealed that addressing Iran’s heated concerns regarding Pakistan’s participation in the Saudi-led military coalition would be on the agenda of the meeting. Shia-majority Tehran has repeatedly voiced its concerns about Pakistan joining the Saudi-led Muslim NATO. It believes the coalition is essentially a Sunni coalition targeting the Shias, despite it being headed by Former Pakistani army chief General (retd.) Raheel Sharif.
Pakistan’s participation in the coalition has created a painful headache for Pakistan, as its decades-long partnership with Iran is standing on thin ice in the wake of a heated exchange of hostile gestures on their 900-kilometer border and a brutal war of words between their leaders.
Pakistanis are hopeful that General Bajwa’s trip to Tehran will help defuse escalating tensions between the two Muslim nations and perhaps lay out the groundwork for Iran to join the coalition, the main objective of which is to eradicate terrorism in the region......................
