Pakistan has extended tacit support to the United States over its action against Iran earlier this week in exchange for the resumption of military cooperation with Washington, in a move that led to the latter authorising the reinstatement of a military training and educational program which had remained suspended for two years.

Citing Intelligence sources, Asian Lite reported that Islamabad, which blamed Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Major Gen Qassem Soleimani for Baloch militant attacks against its forces, found an opportunity to "kill two birds with one stone" when Washington sought its support after the airstrikes near the Baghdad international airport.

It may be noted that the Washington's announcement to authorise the resumption of International Military Education and Training (IMET) for strengthening "military to military cooperation on shared priorities and advance US national security" came hours after US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo spoke to Pakistan Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Qamar Javed Bajwa in the aftermath of the airstrike.


"Pakistan's Chief of Staff General Bajwa and I spoke today about US defensive action to kill Qassem Soleimani. The Iran regime's actions in the region are destabilising and our resolve in protecting American interests, personnel, facilities, and partners will not waver," Pompeo had tweeted.

Pakistan has remained conspicuous by its silence over the US airstrikes and subsequent escalation of tensions between Washington and Tehran.

Citing a leaked letter of Pakistan Foreign Ministry, The Asian Lite report further asserted that as many as 14 members of Pakistan Armed Forces were killed recently by "Baloch militants" based in Iran. It was one of the several attacks sponsored by Iranian intelligence chief Soleimani against Pakistan.

The IMET programme was frozen for Pakistan by the Trump Administration two years ago due to Islamabad's lack of action against terror groups.

It may be noted that the State Department administers IMET, a programme which offers spaces to foreign military officers at US military education institutions, such as the US Army War College and the US Naval War College.

Pakistan-based The News International has reported a State Department spokeswoman as saying that the programme "provides an opportunity to increase bilateral cooperation between our countries on shared priorities... We want to continue to build on this foundation through concrete actions that advance regional security and stability."

Piece of trash, this is. Pakistan has cleared it's stance and said that we won't be a part of anything except Peace process in Afghanistan .

That is not an Indian source nor my opinion. Asian Lite is a UK based media group with offices in London & Manchester. I only posted the article but it looks like you don't want to hear any narrative contradicting your thoughts

Idiot, what does it matter if any stupid website says anything . Would you believe a website or the statement issued by your govt. In this situation .

 

[flameboard]

...and the cycle continues
USA gives Pakistan all this hope. Pakistan falls for it. Region gets destabilised and Pakistan is left alone picking up the pieces with restrictions/ sanctions on Pakistan progress at the end of the US engagement

Pakistan's interests involves a stable region

A destabilized Iran is not good for the CPEC.

Most likely fake news.

Pakistan’s official stance has been made known through official channels.
As for the source my goodness, something reputable would have helped.
Thread closed.

India used Iranian land for every benefit to itself either it is economical in shape of Chabahar Port or it is strategical to harm Pakistan in shape of Kalbhushan; is now playing deaf & dumb and as usual & ditches Iran in reality after reaping all the benefits. Is it a mere coincidence? No... not at all but in-fact, been said on many occasions so instead of standing with Iran and to oppose US even by the lip service isn't possible for India hence, diverting everything against Pakistan through such kind of propaganda accounts & wrongly interpreting. The world is watching again as how India stands with Iran in-case of such conflict and the same will be the result for UAE & KSA as well, whosoever thinks that India will ever support them against US.
