Tehran virtually suspends preferential trade agreement

[syedali73]

They both have done much already. Secondly, iran has insurgency already going in sistan balochistan.
Waisay irfan baloch was saying in a thread that he doesnt think iran will mess in gwadar etc. I think it was a recent thread in which chiefooo had announced that zarb e azb willbe extended to balochistan too.

Well, Gawadar deep seaport is a direct competitor to Iran's Chah Bahar seaport. Doing business through Chah Bahar adds at-least 13 hours to whatever one is transporting, 13 hours of extra fuel, 13 hours of extra time etc. In the presence of Gawadar, nobody would prefer to use Cha Bahar and Iran will not digest this very easily unless Pakistan cuts some type of a deal with Iranian regime. Things are becoming very interesting and with Gawadar seaport and now China-Pakistan economic corridor, we'll witness some interesting action in the region.

Irans port bandar abbas will also suffer due to gwadar.

The border is difficult to control and many more Pakistanis have died in such attacks than Iranians and it should be noted that such attacks are a constant occurrence in Pakistan which is struggling through militancy. Iran must not take knee jerk reactions and must continue to trade if it does not want to be even further isolated. The one thing Iran deeply needs is allies and Pakistan can be that ally.

One thing is for sure. The current government in Iran appears to be hostile to Pakistan and does not understand that often many militant forces, including those attacking Iranian troops or civilians using Pakistan as a launching pad to carry out such attacks cannot be controlled.

Let us hope we establish some pact or agreement to fight militancy in Pakistan and Iran collectively

You will see within days that iran removes this ban on this PTA. They have a history of taking these type of idiotic steps and then eat their words. They are completely ignorant of diplomatic norms and foreign relations, and i think that behavior is because of isolation they have been suffering for a few decades. They behave like an illiterate persons who first time dines in a five star hotel and calls the waiter "Hello Ustad" loudly.

While Pakistan foreign policy is so diplomatic, mature and balanced !!

Iranians and their bloody egos lol.

you forget to mention Indians

No its not. But we do not give these type of idiotic threats that we will attack iran and we don't cancel the agreements unilaterally without even informing the other party. Iranians are very immature in this regard. But they will learn when their restrictions will be lifted and they will interact more with the international community on regular basis.

Both Iranians and Saudis have gone berserk after the Houthi rebellion in Yemen.

They both are drenched in self interest. Wtf saudia was thinking when it started trouble in syria, that iran will sit back and watch when its backyard is being attacked and destroyed, and then in retaliation iran started trouble in saudi backyard and now saudi's are running here and there madly. They are not friends of anybody except themselves. They are fighting a tit for tat war.

 

[flameboard]

The agreement between Tehran and US/Europe is not yet signed and this is Tehran's mood. Imagine what they'll do when the agreement will be signed and sanctions will be either lifted or relaxed. There is after all a reason why Iran's neighbors are not comfortable with her. Iranians are dying to bring back the glory days when Iran was an empire.

This is not the reason why Iran's neighbours are uncomfortable. They're uncomfortable because they reflect US interests. Of course a lot of Iranians would want the Empire back but Iran hasn't been operating like an empire for a while nowbefore the revolution as well.

I do think this is a bad idea, but if it's true that Pakistan didn't make it's payments, in that case it would be their right, and any country with a backbone would do that.

Pakistan has the money to its bill but these criminal politicians and corrupt civil servants steal the money and divide among themselves. Criminal-in-Chief Mr. 20% is gone but have left many corrupt students who want to do more by skimming 99%.

The border is difficult to control and many more Pakistanis have died in such attacks than Iranians and it should be noted that such attacks are a constant occurrence in Pakistan which is struggling through militancy.

Saudis are financing anti-Iran rebels attacking Iran by crossing border from Pakistan. UAE is using the Shamsi airbase near Iranian border. While the Iranian have allowed Indian consulates in Zahedan and Chah Bahar financing terrorism in Pakistan.

Saudia and Iran have gone insane. They are dragging other countries with them. Let's see; Iraq, Syria, Libya etc.

Tehran virtually suspends preferential trade agreement

China being a sincere friend of Pakistan and to make its centrepiece of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Initiative successful at all costs, has advised top leadership of Pakistan as well as establishment to ensure friendly and peaceful ties with immediate neighbouring countries of Iran and Afghanistan.

Top brass of Pakistan’s establishment has acknowledged the viewpoint of China owing to which Pakistan has kept itself away from Yemen uprising even after the pressure exerted by countries from Middle East to ensure peace with the neighboring countries and avoid Shia-Sunni polarisation in Pakistan.

Infact these are the points and joint China-Iran move will ensure eradication of wahabism and western influence from Pakistan and middle east.
Blocking Pakistan to send military in Yemen is the second attempt by china after the Kargil war. It was china that stunned Pakistan and ordered it pull back from saudi war on Kargil.

Major steps in pipleine and Iran/China collaboration will ensure return of peace and normalcy in the region.

Well, there is no doubt that the regional cooperation and development is a priority, no more confusion and turmoil in the region.
