Iran-Pakistan Relations

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari on Wednesday strongly denounced a deadly attack earlier in the day on Bacha Khan University in Pakistan, which killed at least 21 people.

The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, says the military power of Iran and Pakistan has so far deterred many foreign plots and mischief.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari said Tehran views such terrorist acts as being in line with the evil objectives of the enemies of Pakistan and the Muslim world.

Iran says such heinous acts are meant to serve the interests of the enemies of Pakistan and the Islamic world, adding, “Terrorists seek to upset peace and stability in Pakistan.”

During the visit, Zarif held talks with the Pakistani PM, the Afghan President and his Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, Tajik and Afghan counterparts.

The change of governments in Pakistan won’t interfere with the strategy of the Islamic Republic to expand all-out ties with Pakistan, Shamkhani said.

Iran is ready to provide humanitarian and relief assistance for the quake-stricken areas, Afkham said.

Foreign Minister Zarif says Tehran is trying to remove the problems that have been created for Iran and Pakistan due to the Western-imposed sanctions.

The network is aimed at expanding the bandwidth of Pakistan and international information transit.

Iran has said that extremism and terrorism are against humanity and Islam, and killing innocent people, with any purpose and in any form, is rejected and unjustifiable.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the death of the notorious terror leader who was Jaish ul-Adl’s spokesman and second in command.

An analytical report evaluates how Foreign Minister Zarif has masterfully acted as a game-changer on both regional and global stage.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has said military attacks, bombardment and destruction of infrastructure won’t help Yemen.

The terrorists have fled to Pakistan after the incident and a request has been made to Pakistan to apprehend the culprits and hand them over to Iranian authorities.

During the telephone conversation Larijani said Iran believes that Yemen's crisis should be resolved through national dialogue among all Yemeni political factions.

The great success in nuclear talks in Lausanne will make many changes in regional situation, especially in regional security, said the Pakistani defense minister.

Iran believes that the spread of violence and strengthening of radical groups will have an unfavorable impact on peace, stability and peaceful coexistence, said Afkham.

Islamabad has said that it will fulfill its undertaking to lay gas pipelines on Pakistan soil, adding that gas imports from Iran will begin as of late 2016 or early 2017.

Such acts of terror clearly play into the hands of the enemies of Pakistan and the Islamic community, said Afkham.

An Iranian MP did not rule out the possibility of a contractual penalty delay on Pakistan after it failed to honor its obligations under a joint gas pipeline project with Iran.

Iran’s foreign minister has condemned the recent school attack in Pakistan, saying that such terror attacks seek to tarnish Islam’s image.

“This is a totally un-Islamic and inhumane action; terrorism, extremism and putting innocent people’s lives at risk in any form and with any purpose are reprehensible,” said Afkham.

Iran calls on Islamabad to take serious measures to prevent cross-border terrorist attacks by outlaws.

A senior Iranian commander says the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has evidence proving that terrorists have infiltrated into Iran from the neighboring Pakistan.

Pakistan should not allow terrorist operations to be launched against Iran from its soil.
