I know the Pakistani education plus that inbred backwards nature makes understanding simple facts hard for you.
In case of Iran, it’s “oil rich” makes up less than 15% of its GDP. Iran’s economy is actually diverse unlike your similar inbred Arab brethren across The Persian Gulf.
Facts don't change just bcuz ur government propaganda shows u something different. Continue to read below...
Furthermore, Iran is #1 in natural gas reserves in the world. Why is that important? Well as the world over the next decades phase out fossil fuel due to its harmful effects on earth’s climate, more and more demand will go to cleaner burning energy sources like natural gas as well as renewable energy. So Iran will still stand to be an energy supergiant.
What I meant by mentioning petroleum reserves is that's Iran's economy is supported by a freebie resource...be it oil or gas or both, where u guys just got lucky...and it's not due to some hard work by Iranian ppl/government(much like all the other middle eastern oil rich countries). As for ur retarded claims of Iran's economy being diverse...read below
In FY 2009, the [petroleum and gas] sector accounted for 60 percent of total government revenues and 80 percent of the total annual value of both exports and foreign currency earnings.[8] Oil and gas revenues are affected by the value of crude oil on the international market. It has been estimated that at the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) quota level (December 2004), a one-dollar change in the price of crude oil on the international market would alter Iran's oil revenues by US$1 billion. In 2012, Iran, which exports around 1.5 million barrels of crude oil a day, was the second-largest exporter among the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.[9] In the same year, officials in Iran estimated that Iran's annual oil and gas revenues could reach $250 billion by 2015.[10]
So u can take ur alternative facts elsewhere.
You know who doesn’t have immense natural gas reserves? Your master Saudi Barbaria.
Now I know your slow, so again i will spoon feed you one last time. Without access to natural gas reserves, in less than a hundred years Saudi Barbaria will not have this lush money to buy all its puppets (if they manage to keep power for that long, given their nature....doesn’t seem likely)
So Pakistan better continue accepting hand outs and getting as much money as you can. Sooner or later the story might be different.
I don't care about Saudia Arabia. In fact I used to hold the opinion that both Iran/KSA are Muslim countries and that Pak should have good relations with both...the whole "ummah" thing that many naive Pakistanis believe and hold Muslim countries in a favorable view...I was once naive like that too.
I was wrong then. After coming in contact with u and many Iranians like u, I no longer hold that naive opinion. U guys don't deserve friendly relations. I'm not surprised why Iran is isolated on the world stage.
Btw All that money Pakistan spent on “defense” really must be working out for you guys given that after Iraq and Afghanistan you have the most terrorist attacks & casualties on your soil.
Unlike u Pak fights it's own battles. U on the other hand start moaning and crying and rely on Pak to free ur inept border guards.
Keep up the good work and stop worrying about Iran. You should worry about your country and that little cute rivalry with India.
I'm not worried about Iran. It was ur government and ur ppl crying(on this thread) that Pak needs to better monitor its side of the Pak/Iran border to ensure Iran's internal safety. I mean if Pak has to do that too...u guys might as well send ur border guards home then. What are they good for? Failing to prevent intrusions and getting kidnapped? I would say take ur own advice and stop worrying about Pak...work on ur own country.
As for "cute rivalry with India"...
lmao Pak is holding its own against a much bigger enemy. How's it going on ur end where u r having trouble keeping up with tiny Israel?
I made the same points above, but I missed the point about the prevalence of terrorism in Pakistan, that was a good one.
Awesome so u r in agreement with him that Pak is a shithole while everything is all good and jolly in Iran, which is apparently a top notch developed country and is on top of everything. So carry on then...don't come crying to us u superpower. Surely Iran is powerful enough to ensure its own security right? U don't see US complaining to Mexico to secure the border from its side...US itself makes the effort to protect its own borders.
