That's not true, almost all western jets in Iran are operational, we have been locally producing most of the spare parts, otherwise, it is completely impossible to fly a 50 year old F-4 for example without proper maintenance.Iranians could not use western equipement because they did not have the spare parts or munitions.
You cant have sunni only mosques in Iran
What is a sunni only mosque?
Your Patriotic comment is a voice of every sincere Pakistani.....Iqbal is also my favorite... his Painful laments still apply in todays scenarioIn addition to the lack of economic resources; Pakistan’s problem is ethnic rivalry and that many in Pakistan still consider themselves more as Pashtun, Sindhi, Punjabi, Mahajir & Baluchi and not as Pakistani. Can you imagine that in the 21st Century Pakistan people are dragged out of Busses and shot simply because they were not Baluchi and / or because they were Shia on their way home to Gilgit!
Until such time that Fracking technology is able to use brackish water, Pakistan’s’ tight gas reserves would not be exploited. Until such time that Baluch Sardars start thinking like a Pakistani, Rekodiq Gold & Copper reserves will remain under ground. Until such time that Pashtuns & Sindhi nationalists keep their opposition to Kala Bagh Dam, Pakistan’s water resources will remain unexploited. TTP will be controlled but until such time Salafi/Wahhabi/Takfiri section of the population stops supporting SSP & LeJ, sectarian killings in Pakistan will continue and resulting Law & order problem will continue impeding Pakistan’s march towards progress.
International sanctions forced Iran to move towards innovation but Iran’s Self Reliance is a myth. Pakistan never had the immense oil wealth that Iran has (largest gas reserves & 2nd or 3rd largest oil reserves in the world!); despite this Iran can never be a role model for Pakistan. Main reason being that Pakistan has larger pool of scientists & engineers than Iran.
What Pakistan needs is at least 10 years of interprovincial & Shia/Sunni harmony. My hero Iqbal correctly declared:
“Zara nam ho to ye mitti bahaut zarkkhaise hai saaqi”. Meaning ours is a very fertile soil; all it needs is a little water.
Very Painful comments dearThe only reason Kashmir issue is still alive and politician have not traded it for money is the fear of Army...but then again I regret Army for being so quiet and inactive on an issue so critical to Pakistan's existence...water...no future without it....you wont build damns and soon you will loose rights to that water...that is the Indus water treaty.
Read above comments of Niaz bro (#326) then compare it with above Iqbal Stanzas....you'll trace some fault lines that still exists todayThese bad habits were picked up from the Hindu caste practices. I don't think they matter in Pakistan urban areas anymore.
Sunnis and shias pray differently and at different times yet there is no sunni mosque inTehran which means that Iran doesnot allow Sunnis to practice their sect freelyWhat is a sunni only mosque? Like if a shia or a Christian wants to walk in, you're gonna block him b/c it's a sunni only mosque? That concept doesn't even make any sense to me.
Are you talking about a mosque with only sunni imams? They have those in Sunni areas. WTF is your issue then?
they were found out by the UN observersthis is BEYOND shocking!!!! & as for pakistanis calling "IRAN A ROLE MODEL IN SELF RELIENCE"
LET THOSE PAKISTANIS NOT FORGET THAT IRAN WAS THE ONE THAT SNITCHED ON A.Q.KHAN and told the world PAKISTAN helped us with centrfigues! which brought shame onto pakistan.
Very Painful comments dear

If Pathans have some delusions about Noshahra existence ....then Punjab must show bigheartedness and transfer some of its land as Gift to Paktunkhawa including the land where Kalabagh Project will take place atleast that'll put an end to the suffering of Flood Disaster every year

For me the Iranians are a model in:-
1. Education
2. Social progressive
3. Patriotism
4. Stable/unity
5. Sophisticated culture
6. Egalitarian ethos
They are in my opinion the most advanced Muslim society. Their misfortune is they are in the wrong place. If there had been any justice they would have been on the Meditaranean Europe.

In Pakistan all sects have exclusive mosques where they pray according to their own sect and gov doesnot enforce any sect on people there are huge shia imam bargahs in Islamabad where Shias prayNot true. There are Sunni mosques in Iran, as well as in Tehran. But these are mostly in areas that have high Sunni population eg West/South West Iran and South/South East Iran. If you mean Iran must put a Wahabi Imam at every mosque/madrassah in Iran and subsidize them as Pakistan has done, then that is not going to happen. Because then the Wahabis will take over Iran and despite their minuscule numbers will create intractable problems as you can see with your own eyes in Pakistan.
All for what? To make a few internet trolls happy? Jeopardize a nation for such a ridiculous reason? You are insane.
You can pretend whatever you want, but the truth is, Iranian society as a whole has a different interpretation of the role of religion in society. Unlike in countries like Pakistan, religion is not the only ideology or goal for the people of Iran. In fact, let me tell you this, alot of Iranian Sunnis specially the Iranian Kords are much more liberal than even the Shia Iranians. It is better to keep your mouth shut when you do not know about something.
You can go on now and divide people based on their ethnicity, language, sect and what not. And then bundle them neatly into their "mosques", "madrassahs", "schools", villages and cities. But do so in your own country. And do not expect Iran to follow you. Because that is exactly what Iran does not want to do. Such caste based thinking of endless divisions and rivalary between divisions comes from other cultures and beliefs systems eg. in your case from your Hindu past and for Arabs from their Bedouin tribalism. Iran has its own unique identity and does not need to follow such BS from other cultures.
On a lighter note, if Iran was in Europe then who would have been the role model here? God put us here for a reason.
