Good news. Pakistan should always play its role in the region and be there to ensure freedom of navigation and protection of commercial ships.

Revolutionary guard today gave a press conference flanked by the flags of Iran's proxy. I was not surprised to see the flag of the Zainabiyoun terror militia.

How does Pakistan see this?

Pakistan has a solid military structure so it is hard for Iran to plan a heavy-armed militia but Pakistan should not allow this to continue as at certain point they will grow and then becomes a state within. My concern is not about this now but I am wondering how does Pakistan see Iran planting a terror militia inside Pakistan and remain silent! What is that for? why does Iran need to create armed militia inside Pakistan? Is not that seen as a threat?

I am sure you are well aware of myths and legends, then comes mysteries.

Your question is a mystery to masses !!!

A state within a state, the latter fearing the former which is even though weaker but has the ability to hold you by throat !!!

This is the case of Pakistan. Come to celebrities or famous personalities or those with high wealthy, you will find one thing in common, that they are all belonging to a GROUP OF PEOPLE from a sect that unfortunately prioritizes iran over anything.
Influence on Pakistan is from high level.

And yet, i can’t seem to understand, a nuclear power, Huge and battle hardened military, can’t seem to come strongly on Iran for doing anti Pakistan activities.

I guess the issue lies with our political system and that the expansive list of government members from Bureaucrats, Leaders, directors, somewhere there is a strong influence.

I DONT SUPPORT SECTARIAN TALKS NEITHER DESPISE ANYONE BUT WISH FOR PEACE - The Above Statement is a pure observation
