Baloch sahib, until recently majority of Pakistanis (over 85%) including me had a very positive opinion towards Iran. In fact Pakistan was the only country in the world with such overwhelming positive opinion towards Iran. Now your logic that our population is brainwashed by Saudis does not match with reality on the ground.
And this is despite the hostile actions Iran was taking against Pakistan.
Now it has crossed lines and we can not just go on ignoring the threats it is causing to our country.
Should we have good relations with Iran? By all means.
Should the respect be just one-sided and Iran be allowed to continue its hostile actions against Pakistan? DEFINITELY NOT!
My views exactly. Iran has overstepped its grounds and is behaving like an enemy.
Pakistani reaction should be equal to the Iranian rhetoric and hate.
But to tell you the truth, they are always “suspicious” of Baloch and Pakistani people.
Lack of people to people contact and false news makes it difficult for them to be unbiased.
We are neighbors, but we may as well not be and Sistan-Balochistan province may as well just be Sistan.
Baloch are almost invisible in Iran. Most Iranians live in the north and west.
1) Jaish al adl killed our boys. We won't let it go. This happened to last leader of this group (or its parent organization). This will happen to current leadership as well.
2) This group is ideologically connected to and funded by Anti Iran elements from Persian Gulf. The kidnapped boys were recovered from Pakistani soil. Same group has been involved in spreading baloch separatism in your country. Who is hosting them ?
3) No one from Iran ever said that IRGC will fight with Pakistanis. There was talk of action against this group IN CONJUNCTION with Pakistan army. Problem ? This has happened before in Shah times. Recently there were some news of Turkish Forces and IRGC joint operation against insurgents, IRGC also collaborates with Iraqi forces. Whats wrong in Pakistani and Iranian joint action ?
2. It is the same financiers which were funding MeK, whom Iran also had difficult time dealing with for many years. It is US, Israel, and now India. They are funding BLA also.
3. Gen Qasem Soleimani’s statements were a threat and angered every Pakistani (including Shias.) He should apologize, he was wrong.
Today, Pakistan sent two planes full of aid to Iran for the flood relief, but will you appreciate it or continue to harp on hateful rhetoric?
Baloch separatist Wahhabi groups want to kill Pakistani and Iranian soldiers and they operate on pakistani soil? Thoughts ?
They are coming from Afghanistan, and you know it also. How many anti-Iranian governments are deployed there as part of NATO?
You have one friend in the region, Pakistan, try to keep it.
Not these foreign funded groups. They are a rather new mix up of anti state wahabism + baloch separatism. You will be a fool if you think your own inner state is not concerned about their presence on pakistani soil. Saudi $ is delicious but no one wants trouble in their own house. Why do you think Pakistani forces recover kidnapped Iranian soldiers so easily each time there is a diplomatic row between Iran and Pakistan over Jandallah/Jaish al Adl.... Because your own country does not want them on its own soil but your country needs cash and cash comes from guess where ?
Baloch are Eastern Iranic people like pashtuns. But who cares . This is politics.
..............
I am out for now. Peace
We can captured them along Afghan border. It should tell you something.
Baloch and Pukhtoons May speak what scientists may classify as East Iranic languages, but ethnic composition of both group is not that simple. Also Pukhto, Hindko, and Punjabi have a lot of similarities, same with Baloch and Sindhi/Seraiki.
The whole of Pakistan descends from mostly Iranic nomads (Parthians, Scythians, Hephthalites) from Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh to KPK and Balochistan.
We may be Iranic but we are not derived from Iran. Our ancestors independently migrated from Central Asian steppes over thousands of years in different waves.
We share a genetic link to Afghans, esp Pukhtoons, as it was the natural migration pattern through this region and had been united with them for most of our history.
Outside english literature , these fancy terms like "east iranic" have no meaning what so ever, everyone clearly can see that both pashtuns and baloch are gentically closer to sindhis, punjabis and kashmiris than to persians or any other race of iran, all recent genetic studies have time and again proven it. Speaking a language doesn't mean anything expect in the corrupted minds of 18th century english and european linguists and anthropologists.
According to these fancy terms we punjabi speaking people are supposed to be "indo-aryan" which also has no meaning whatsoever for us, because we have no genetic connection with bengalis and sri lankan sihala who also enjoy designation of this english invented fancy term "indo-aryan".
Yes, exactly brother. Check my thread when you get a chance at the link below:
