Like i said in an earlier post, Iran is a state, state's have interests. Nobody cares what religion your President is. Because Iran is a Middle Eastern country, which has a Middle Eastern centric foreign policy and strategic interests. South Asia is pretty irrelevant to Iran in the big scheme...

There isnt one. The average Iranian knows nothing about Pakistan and doesnt care about them either. Pakistan has been given a bad rep in the Iranian press for several years now though, particularly within the past 4 years, and especially since last October so there are some general negative...

Mutual, or competing. Whatever caused the Iranian side to fire into Pakistan obviously was not a decision made by the Iranian government, but something that particular unit decided themselves. Really? :laugh:

Wtf? LMAO... because Iran is a sovereign state and a nation, not a human being with a "soul". The only thing that states have are interests, thats it. There is no "brotherhood" among states. Please wake up, or just grow up.

Perhaps this had something to do with the bombings that took place in Pakistan's border town with Iran that killed almost 30 Hazara Shi'as (Pakistani citizens, not Afghan). Pakistani and Iranian border guards exchange fire By Aamir Latif, Monday, June 09, 2014 ISLAMABAD – Rockets and mortar...

I dont agree with imposing hejab. Zoroastrianism btw does not mandate that women cover up in a chador or any other such garment. It only mandates that people cover their faces when they are close to a consecrated fire, and that women are kept away from various people and places when on their...

They've been resisting in their own way, thats why you see so-called "bad hejab" all over Iran today unlike in the 1980s when it was all dark colored chadors.

Sharif was basically warned off Afghanistan in his meeting with Rafsanjani and was practically grilled over the I-P pipeline and border security by Khamenei, Rafsanjani and Rouhani. Of course, it is not going to be reported so bluntly in that way. But that is clearly the nuance in the reports...
