As long as Pakistan largely remains a proxy of the Saudis, Iran is never going to be anywhere close to in sync.
Pakistan is not a "proxy of the Saudis"
Not to mention the small matter of being one of the most Shia unfriendly countries in the world today.
oh well hmmm gee whiz.....the FOUNDER of Pakistan was a Shiaa; the former Speaker of the House was a Shiaa; we had Shiaa Chiefs of Army Staff, Chiefs of General Staff, had Shiaa Prime Ministers; some of the most succesful businessmen and women in Pakistan are Shiaas; the list goes on
takfiris who are only serving the agenda of our enemies are buying into the sectarian garbage --- which indeed is a threat to the social fabric of Pakistan
it's a threat, but one that doesnt resonate much in our population. On an everyday basis, NOBODY in the street talks about Shiia or Sunni......just a few misguided souls who delve into what is otherwise a man-made political problem rather than a problem of clashing ideology
It's kind of like.....you know......a few misguided people in your country who thrash and or murder dalits and other "untouchables" in cold blooded acts of violence.
Pakistan and Iran seeing eye to eye on Afghanistan is the biggest bald faced lie I have heard today.
Of course today is still young.
Well hmmm gee whiz again!
Neither Pakistan nor Iran are exactly 'thrilled' about NATO's campaign in Afghanistan (rather - the way it has been handled). Whereas in the past, IRGC was covertly working hand-in-hand with NATO to ouster the taleban --Pakistan was "on the other side"....Now several years later - In Iran's case, they fear they are being enveloped. USA's influence in Iraq is still intact; USA/Saudi bloc wrestle for influence with Iran in Lebanon. USA/Saudi bloc wrestle for influence with Iran in Bahrain (which houses the Fifth Fleet!!!). You really think Iran enjoys seeing NATO expanding on its presence (whether military or otherwise) right in its backyard?
In Pakistan's case, it's a matter of national integrity (Afghan [in]security dismally affects us). The use (by india especially) of Afghan soil for anti-Pakistan activity has gone noted --sometimes it has not gone unpunished. In Iran's case, it's an issue of national security as well (MeK, Jundollah, other revolutionary/anti-regime groups funded partly or wholly by the CIA).
By the way, elements in Washington are known to be on record calling out Pakistan for "double dealing".....however, not only does Washington DC have DIRECT access to elements of the taleban. The Iranians are now VERY OPENLY in contact with them! It obviously means that the end-game is near and ALL sides are hedging their bets.
it's only some unfortunates from 'your camp' who are still having some kind of false illusions of grandeur and wet-wishful dreams ---predicting Pakistan to be collapsed and/or isolated while they try to act like the darlings and saints.
dahhhh see we Pakistanis are bighearted enough to give you a reason for getting solace
