After Shikarour & Peshawar, the Iranians are worried about the Shia Muslims in Pakistan. Influential Saudis (Wahhabism) has taken over the basic norms of Islam (which is supposedly be a peaceful religion ). & indeed it is. But the fact is hijacking religion just to kill innocent brothers & sisters, mother & father, son & daughter, parents & kids. As a foreign policy debate, pakistan should help their kith & kin, as they are all muslims, Period!. If not, it wil be very difficult to hold the entire nation under one umbrella!. Sit back & think about it analytically & politically as well as qualitatively & quantatativally! Food for thought!

@citizen Do you mean to say that Iran should let all Pak intruders in. Why ? Why not the guards on our side of the border stop them ? Lot of them are caught and deported to Pakistan on regular basis. And we do not find it necessary to stop our men slipping in to Iran without visa etc. Under this scenario what ...what exactly should Iran do ?

@Yazi Yes, Iran is a Muslim country for sure and it considers itself as a brotherly country too. But friendship does not mean that it should not guard its boarders and let our men in....all those who go there without travel documents / visa etc.
