Iran is consider sealing border with Pakistan.....another News
yeah like letting them support sectarian terrorism in Pakistan
"Pakistan needs to reinforce synergies with Iran: Nawaz" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ So Mr PM what are the synergies and what is stopping you from reinforcing them?
What the PM of Pakistan is saying is very important and good, but one must remember people in the Indian subcontinent, particularly those in power are smooth talkers and what happens on the ground is very different to what is said in ivory towers. Every nation that borders Pakistan unfortunately must strictly control what comes into their country as it is an unstable country Pakistan, leadership/power just turn a blind eye but money talks which is the number one factor that stops problems spilling over into other nations.
... pakistan may need to but not iran...........!!!!!!!!!!!
If anything our relationship with Iran is being unnecessarily destroyed due to the PML-N government and Nawaz Sharif. The existing government is sold out to Saudi Arabia and unconditionally following orders from the middle east. From providing weapons to Syrian rebels via arab states to letting Saudi elites hunt our endangered bird species for fun in Baluchistan ... surely we are fast losing our own identity and becoming a puppet state controlled by the west and the middle east...God please save Pakistan
