Rafsanjani urges U.S.-NATO co-op with Iran and Pakistan

Tehran Times Political Desk

TEHRAN – If the U.S. and NATO intend to adopt a “correct policy” in the region, they should understand that cooperation with Iran and Pakistan is the main “pivot” for resolving regional issues, Expediency Council Chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani suggested.


Rafsanjani made the remarks on Tuesday in a meeting with Pakistan’s new ambassador to Tehran, M.B. Abbasi.

The statement by Rafsanjani comes as NATO and U.S. troops in Afghanistan plan to intensify their combat operations against Telaban as violence has surged in the country. The Obama administration has even pledged to move some of U.S. troops from Iraq to Afghanistan.

Rafsanjani said Tehran and Islamabad can help improve the regional security situation by expanding their political and economic relations, adding that countering extremist forces is a common goal of the two countries.

“The foreign forces present in the region can not contain the terrorists and extremists without the cooperation of Iran and Pakistan,” he noted.

The EC chairman also said “energy transactions” will provide the greatest avenue for Iran-Pakistan economic cooperation.

In the meeting, the Pakistani ambassador invited Rafsanjani to visit his country.

Why would Pakistan be enemy of Iran?!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am refering towards Talaban ,IRAN is more allergic with Talaban then US .

 

[jeypore]

Some experts suggest that nations with good relations with Iran such as France, Germany and Italy may try to set up an alternate supply route to western Afghanistan via Char Bahar, a port in southeastern Iran.

If i have to put my two cents on this issue, I believe they forget to put India as a list of countries friendly to Iran. Where India has helped Iran in building the Char Bahar port, and the road to link with the afganistan. My conspiracy theory would be that India is helping US on the supply route to Afganistan.

Talaban played important role in defeat of Russians .They also defeated brithisher in eighteen century .

They are fighting with occupied forces which is their fundamental right .

US can not defeat them even with double strength.

Afghanistan war is gurilla war which need different strategy in which ISAF failed completely.

waraich66; dear sir,
plz.. stop seeing "Talaban's" as a reason of defeat for russians in afghanistan!
& plz stop projecting them , as "Talaban' played important role in defeat of Russians, they never did any thing to win afghan war, as they never been a part of the afghan war?

Rafsanjani should know that Talaban and Pushtoon having blood relation ,Pushtoon are in full support of Afghan Talaban ,Pushtoon are now settled in each province of pakistan and have also understanding with Sunni muslims ,which are in majority in Pakistan,

Simmilarly in army and government sunni leaders are in mojority will never ever support US due to its wrong support of israel .

If US want to make Pakistani sunni majority in favour US have to review its policy and double standard in middle east.

Agreed that Talaban dont even exist during Afghan-Russian War ,they filled the gap generated after defeat and withdrawal of Russians because all jehadi groups failed to restore peace in Afghanistan.

Presently they are fighting with ISAF with out the help of any super power and Pakistan.Even now NATO concluded that Talaban can not be defeated.So we have to accept them as reality even though we are supporting USA because we are afarid of its Power but Talaban are not affraid of US power .

US is using us in this WAR but we dont have benifit of this war in both case we remain in loser end no matter who will win this war.

waraich66; sir
so why you tried to potrayed them in your frist post?

waraich66; sir

Infact,these talaban are kids of mujahdeen who defeated Russians with help of US and Pakistan,

Mullah omer(Madrasa Teacher ) had taken power with help of local Afghan tribes and war lords so in general terms we can say that they belong to same group but different name of Talaban .Now many great afghan muhadeen leaders including hikmat yar is fighting under the cammand and control of shourah which is almost same body which is responsible for every decision .So change of name does not have much importance.They have same cammand and control as was during Afghan jehad with Russia.

Iran is not going to allow for the US but it will allow arms to the NATO.

Remember US is the enemy and not NATO.

Also Iran is against Taliban/ Al Qaeda (sectarian reasons) so Iranians will support this strategy.

When Mumbai incident happened, Iran brought its forces to the Balochistan border. When inquired about this move, Iran responded that this is a move to stop any influx of refugees from Pakistan.

Lets not forget that Libya and Iran were the two countries which claimed that Pakistan supported their nuclear programs and provided some evidence as well.

Now imagine a US strategy to break Pakistan up and Pakistan's Baloch province becoming a part of Iran. How many of us honestly believe that Iran would resist such moves?

So what do we do?

Do nothing at this point just monitor the situation like a hawk because Taliban will follow US/ NATO presence and the menace around our border will be at Afghan-Iran border soon.

While the US are murderers doing carpet bombing on Afghan civilians & Talebans alike, the Talebans are nothing but religious fanatics who wanted to impose their version of Islam on all the rest of the world including on us, who had helped them in their not only hour of need by on day to day basis.

They supported terrorist like Tehmur Langhra, etc in doing bombing rounds in our mosques & imam barghas and gave them safe heaven.

Press TV - Mumbai attack plans 'made outside Pakistan'

Mumbai attack plans 'made outside Pakistan'
Thu, 29 Jan 2009 19:04:26 GMT


Gunmen stormed multiple locations, including the Taj Mahal Hotel, in Mumbai in November.
A recent Islamabad probe suggests that elements and agencies inside Pakistan were not involved in planning the Mumbai terror attacks.

"An initial probe conducted by a three-member team set up by the Interior Ministry has concluded that the 26/11 attacks were planned outside Pakistan," Dawn News quoted sources as saying on Thursday.

The Pakistani team also stated in its report that "no leads" had been found in Pakistan but did not elaborate on whether the probe had been able to determine where the attacks had been planned.

The British intelligence service MI5, however, had affirmed earlier that it had uncovered links between the terrorists involved in the Mumbai attacks and UK nationals.

"We have looked at individuals' communications, where they have been and so on and found they have got connections with most countries including the UK...," said MI5 Director General Jonathan Evans in early January.

Pakistan's Interior Ministry is expected to review the report on the initial probe on Thursday in a high-level meeting. The ministry will submit a final report to the government by Saturday

On January 5, India provided Pakistan with data from satellite phones used by the attackers as well as what it describes as the "confession of a surviving gunman".

The issue that Pakistan was probing into the issue was made public by Pakistani Interior Ministry Chief Rehman Malik on January 17 when findings from India began to undergo serious examination.

Washington, New Delhi, and London hold Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a Pakistan-based militant group responsible for the Mumbai attacks - which killed at least 179 people, including nine militants. Pakistan has rejected the involvement of its government in the attacks, saying that "non-state actors" were involved in the incident.
