And my position (and that of the forum) remains the same - criticize the regime, which is responsible for these issues, not all Iranians.@AgNoStiC MuSliM This is exactly what I was referring to you on the other thread. These people will only listen to the language of danda. Nothing else will work with them.
The regime won't even allow anyone other than its handpicked candidates to stand for election, and has carried out brutal crackdowns on Iranian protesters and dissidents.
I agree that the ultimate responsibility for protecting the border and preventing cross-border terrorist movement lies with Pakistan.More like Pakistan is just incompetent in protecting it's own part of Balochistan
Similarly, the Iranians (and Afghans, US in Afghanistan, Indians) need to get off their own high horse and stop blaming & threatening Pakistan after every terrorist incident in Iran (or their respective areas of responsibility).
The anger you are seeing on the Pakistani side is boiling over after years of the Iranians issuing statements attacking and threatening Pakistan, allowing the Indians to invest in Chabahar, the Kulbushan Yadev situation, Iran stoking and/or getting involved in sectarian conflicts abroad and continued recruitment by Iran of Pakistanis to fight in said sectarian conflicts. Given the press release out of Iran posted above, it does not appear the Iranian regime is changing its ways, so you're going to see Pakistanis lash out at Iran when incidents occur along the Iran-Pakistan border, mimicking the Iranian accusations against Pakistan.
At the institutional level, the Pakistani government and military have been extremely restrained, responsible and avoided engaging in a blame game - the Iranian government and military have been the complete opposite. It's almost like they WANT to push Pakistani public opinion against them and sow sectarian strife in Pakistan.
