Pakistan force is a warning to Tehran

[BATMAN]

Iran says they do not support houthis, so nothing to fret about it.we km led houthis in 60s we will kick them now too. If they ever so try to cross Arabian borders. Since Iran doesn't support houthi nor any irani is there. It's ok

Iran can't be trusted... they say something and they do another, actually exact opposite.

Yes it is true. They have expansionist aims. Then they will have to suffer the consequence

 

[BATMAN]

It's not like Pakistani troops will go into Yemen and kill houthis. Pakistani troops have been stationed there before.

When was Pakistan troops stationed there before?

Pakistani army should focus on its own country's security rather than the sick Saudi royal family. It seems like Pakistan is politically stuck between China and the US, and Saudi and Iran. It should focus on making itself more of a heavyweight and not needing to be wooed into short term alliances.

 

[BATMAN]

As long as Pakistan is in the coalition Iran has a friend there... Pakistan army can't will never be part of any anti Iran coalition ...

There is more than enough evidence that Iran is involved in destabilization of middleast, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Many terror rings had been busted lately in middleeast and Pakistan, which clears all doubts.
If clandestine Iranian activities are not posted on this forum, doesn't mean they are not in press.

This is really a good chance for Pakistan to act like interculator between Saudi Arabia and Iran to settle this matter through dialogues. Iran and Saudi MUST stop this secretarian shiit it is harming Muslims across the globe in general. Muslim across the world must learn to lives together regardless of different school of thoughts and I don't think Iran will cause any harm to Harmain o Shareefian ( Makkah and Madinah). I have a lot of respect for Mr Raheel Sharif he is a right man to do the job and I have firm believe the only country can intervene between Iran and Saudi Arabia is Pakistan. Please dont expect much from other habibi's ( Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon etc) they're only good in eating Kabsa, mandi. Lastly, I sincerely hope this secretarian madness will stop one day. Iran and Saudi Arabia equally responsible for this disease.

Iran has said they are not supporting houthis...So, how come Iran comes into picture? Houthis will be handled if they attack on the border of KSA....This is defensive deployment not offensive one...Any attack from Yemen will be repelled.

Iran has nothing to worry about

Pakistan is not iran's enemy even though iran has problems with some arab states, we have a security pact with a few countries and are working for our national interest

It is also part of Pakistan’s national interest to be friendly towards iran


We cant allow the dick measuring contest between saudi and iran to stop us working and building our strategic importance

 

[AnGrz_Z_K_Jailer]

I live Saudi Arabia for 11 years and I worked in Najran, Jezan, Al abha & Al hasa for 4 years I know the ground realities and I know since how long Iranian 's playing this game. It was first started 2009 - 2010. Iran fully involved in secretarian activities in Saudi Bodering areas even in Yambo, Khafji and please don't expect our sheikh are innocent. Both parties are equally quilty.

^^^^^

Do you really believe Iran is not involved and haven't promote secretarian shiit across Saudi Arabia or its bordering provinces? Just go for Hajj and see with your own eyes in Muna during ayaam e Hajj then you will understand what our Iranians brothers are upto. Please do visit Jeddah Jaliyaat office and see how our sheikhs are radiclizing spectriate from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. You will see more Asians in Jaliyaat office other then Arabs. Mate trust me both parties are equally guilty.

• Pakistan in talks with Saudi Arabia to send combat troops to protect the kingdom
• UAE seeks peace through strength

If the plans currently under discussion between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan bear fruit, they will signal a further shift in relations between the two countries. Of greater import, however, will be the message they send to Iran.

The plans under discussion revolve around creating an emergency response force inside Saudi Arabia, composed of thousands of Pakistani troops. This brigade would ostensibly be there to "bulk up" Riyadh’s military at a time when the kingdom is fighting an intense war in Yemen. That Pakistan would send troops to a GCC country is not especially new – novel, certainly, but Pakistani troops have in the past provided assistance to Saudi Arabia at times of particular danger. They were involved, for example, in the country during the first Gulf War.

But there is a wider message being conveyed. The kingdom was the driving force behind the creation of the "Muslim Nato", as the Islamic Military Alliance to Fight Terrorism, a coalition of 39 Muslim countries, is sometimes called. This coalition – which excludes Iran – is meant to be headed by a retired Pakistani army chief, General Raheel Sharif, although he appears to still be clarifying his role, and more broadly Islamabad has been hesitant to take sides so overtly between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Yet the recent move signals that Islamabad has decided to prioritise its relationship with Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf. That ought to be a message – and a warning – to Iran. Tehran needs to recognise that its meddling in the Middle East has profound consequences, for the region and for itself. It is because of Iranian meddling in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere that so much of the sectarian conflicts in the region has been created or exacerbated.

It is the Saudi reaction to that meddling that has resulted in the creation of this coalition. And by allowing Pakistani troops into the kingdom, Islamabad is showing that it, too, recognises how important defeating terrorism and instability is for Pakistan itself – after all, the sectarianism that has been inflamed in the Middle East also has an effect in Pakistan. The two regions are interlinked.

Hopefully Tehran will get the message. When a country on its eastern flank, Pakistan, sends troops to a country to its west, in part to defend against conflicts that Tehran itself has stoked, it should be obvious that Iran is not behaving responsibly in its own neighbourhood. Tehran’s policies are pushing countries around it closer together.

A silly article in general. Pakistan is not in business of warning to Iran or any other Muslim county. We are just trying to help our Muslim brothers for security of their borders and cities. They are facing more of unconventional (read terrorist) threats rather than attack by any country including Iran. Pakistan is for peace, unity, and development in the Muslim world rather supporting divisions, fighting, and anarchy.

Pakistan should treat Persians and Arabs indiscriminately........No need to take sides or extend special favors to either of them, they both are in cohorts with our nemesis Bhaarut and that interaction is growing beyond economic realms. For Pakistan the need of the hour is to aggressively convey it's displeasure to them both over their Bhaarut mania, but sadly Pakistani policy makers are trying to draft ways to please all the parties, who don't care about us. The only two states worthy of unconditional Pakistani patronage are none other than China and Turkey. Period

The problem Pakistan faces regarding Iran is that Persians have beef with everyone...be it Arabs or Turks or Pakistanis...These brainwashed fools just don't get along with anyone...Middle East is quite big...Everyone is there to secure its interests...Turkiye is building military base in Qatar...Pakistanis are getting involved in KSA...

Pakistan and Turkiye should guard Middle East...because Arabs don't have hatred for us just like they have for Iranians...Iranians are not welcomed by Arabs in Middle East but Pakistan/Turkiye are...

When was Pakistan troops stationed there before?

during first and second gulf war

Just one side inflating the issue.
The idea is that "in case" a Shia militia is propped up by Iran, or an extremist revolt starts up in Saudi Arabia- we will assist in quashing it.

Beyond that, we are working on a balanced approach to all. The one belt project for eg has Iran very very willing to bend backwards for it and ipso facto move on issues with us.

Something we have conveyed to them recently as well; take our support to the Arabs as balancing efforts and not as offensive actions.
