Shireen Mazari Continues to Do Extra Duty as Iran's Foreign Minister

[Areesh]

The problem with this is the same as with Sheikh Rasheed issuing threats of nuclear war to foreign nations; it's not their job.

They are members of the government, so their words can lead to diplomatic consequences as it may be interpreted to the official position of the government.

There is a reason why we have a foreign office; to make calibrated statements about issues that have a lot more dimensions that many not in the loop may miss.

Pakistan may decide to openly oppose the US on Iran sanctions matter for whatever reason, but let it be done by those whose job it is. Miss Mazari is the minister of human rights in Pakistan, so let her talk about those issues.

Leave foreign relations to the foreign office.

Sheikh Rasheed gives threats to India. An enemy of Pakistan

Not to USA to defend Iran

There is a big difference between both situations

What's your problem with it.

This is called urta Teer rokna... Bila waja ka panga....

When did Shireen Mazari become Foreign Minister of Pakistan or Iran or any other country?

I think in blind love for Iran you forgot the fact that Shireen Mazari is not a foreign minister but minister for human rights

Sheesh, what a blunder. My argument stands. She is doing precisely what I wrote albeit not as Foreign Minister.

She does seem more suited to the job compared to Shah Mehmood Qureshi.

First of all there is no official policy of Pakistan that we would be picking up fights with USA for Iran. So even if Shah Mehmood Qureshi would have done that then it would have been unacceptable

Secondly she is not foreign minister. This is not her domain. She should focus on her ministry whose performance is poor by every standards

Statements like these are made after taking all concerned authorities onboard. This was not her personal project. It would be very naive to assume so.

She has been doing this since past one year or more

So I don't think that it is done with consultancy of all concerned authorities

Supporting a country that acts against our interests and is in bed with Anti-Pakistan powers for decades now. Involved in Anti-Sunni acvtivites in the levant and responsible for inciting sectarian violence in Pakistan by supporting mad Zakirs to go full retard... shall I continue?

There is no such thing as shia sunni, barelvi, deobandi, wahabi, salfi, all are fitnas.. call fitna what fitna is.. and deal with it.. if iran is fanning chaos in Pakistan then go directly with them..

If this is consistent then be assured that everyone is onboard. She would have been removed long ago otherwise.

Considering the chaos in the federal cabinet I am not surprised that she continues to remain a minister despite poor performance and these unnecessary statements

Wait-and-see approach is advised in this matter TBH.

American Presidential Elections will be held in the M/O November of this year; it is important to observe what the next American Administration will choose to do with Iran.

Irresponsible statement from a Pakistani Minister by the way. Its like as if she is living in a bubble reality.

USA does not need UN to penalize/harm any country whatsoever:

US Imposes Sweeping New Sanctions on Iran

Trump administration' sanctions and export control measures affect 27 entities and individuals connected to Iran's nuclear weapons program

Might is Right practice will continue...

Clever to have the Minister for Human Rights make the statement instead of the Foreign Minister. If the Americans threaten us with a very damaging response, Pakistan can simply take a step back and tell them that the minister's statement addresses a human rights issue and does not represent Pakistan's foreign policy with regards to US.

Sure it's okay if he were some guy; but once you are an official member of the government, your words have to be calibrated especially with regards to foreign affairs.

Would it be okay for him to say that Pakistan would send LET guys into India to attack Indian army bases? That would still be threatening an enemy nation, but do you think that would be a good thing?

The fact is, if Pakistan wishes to threaten India, it can do so through the foreign office or indeed the DGISPR can do it as well. They will choose their words carefully, keeping the intricacies of the global affairs in mind. There are people there are trained for this sort of thing.

There is a reason why only the DGISPR speKs to the public. You don't see active members of the armed forces issuing statements.

Why have a foreign office if anyone in the government can say anything they wish (seeking domestic approval ratings mostly).

I don't think this is meant to be a pro-Iran statement. Consider if US is able to establish such policies as a new normal what then? Who is next? As a country that could end up in such a situation Pakistan needs to address the concern before it happens to them.

Exactly.

Never knew that we are also working as representatives of Iran

So a sane person on Twitter says that US cannot enforce sanctions without UNSC. She is saying what is right according to International Public law and the UN charter. What is wrong with you? You want Kashmir issue to be discussed in the UNSC every Monday, yet desire Iran to suffer economic sanctions right away just because it aligns with your personal views regarding either Persians or Shias? Dude, you idea of justice is very prejudiced and biased.
