Relations between Islamic republics

Iran and Pakistan have a complex relationship, characterized by a long history of cooperation as well as tensions in major issues. Both countries are officially designed as Islamic republics, although Iran is mostly Muslim, while Pakistan is mostly Muslim.

The history of their relations dates back to the founding of Pakistan amid the division of the United Kingdom from the Indian subcontinent in 1947, when Iran was the second nation after the United Kingdom, which recognizes the independence of Pakistan. Pakistan was among the first countries to develop new diplomatic relations with Iran after its Islamic revolution in 1979 that overthrew the pro -Western property and the status of the current theocratic system in the country.

Pakistan has been suspected of playing a role in helping Iran’s nuclear efforts, which dates back at least the 1980s, through the nuclear physicist Abdul Qadr Khan, who is the chief architect of the nuclear weapons program in Pakistan. Khan, who died in October 2021, extracted controversy in 2004 after admitting the transfer of nuclear technology to Iran, North Korea and Libya, although he claimed that he did this without knowing the Pakistani government.

While Iranian officials have never recognized the receipt components related to the nuclear program of their country, from Khan specifically, the reports issued by Central Intelligence AgencyThe International Atomic Energy Agency and other agencies have collected links between the nuclear ingenuity of the nation.

Aslamabad and Tehran also created mechanisms from Security cooperationEspecially aimed at fighting a group of militant groups, including separatist groups, which work on both sides of their common borders.

However, mutual lack of confidence prevailed at times, as both sides sometimes accuse each other of their failure to support their aspect of security obligations.

Officials from both sides quickly agreed to cancel manufacturing after the clash.

Pakistan-Israel tensions intensify

After Hamas conducted a sudden attack on Israel in October 2023, the group was backed by the war that followed with Israel by Iran and its axis from the resistance alliance of non -governmental actors in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen.

The Allied Resistance Axis is calculated from Pakistan, that is, Zinbion Brigade, which consists of Shiite Muslim fighters who are mostly participating in fighting ISIS in Syria.

Pakistan, the only world Muslim nuclear weapons forceIsrael has repeatedly condemned, which Islam Abad has never established diplomatic relations, on its campaigns in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. Israel also Widely believed For nuclear weapons.

Pakistani calls have risen to cancel the escalation since Israel’s direct attacks on Iran. On Tuesday, Pakistan joined 19 other Islamic countries, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, in expressing “factional rejection” of Israel’s air attack against Iran and called for the Middle East free of nuclear weapons.

Israeli strikes have targeted large -scale positions and are linked to employees with the Iranian armed forces and nuclear facilities, although activists report increasing death of civilians. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claim that they have largely destroyed the Iranian air defense network and made steps to exhaust the missile capabilities in the country, even as Iranian strikes continue to hit Israel.

When Trump delivered the first title of his second administration to a joint session Congress In March, he attributed to Pakistan the assistance of the United States in obtaining the arranged mind suspected of a deadly attack by ISIS against American forces and Afghan civilians amid the withdrawal of the United States to Afghanistan in August 2021.

Trump is also known to search for a stronger relationship with India, as he enabled the quadruple security dialogue alliance between countries, as well as Australia and Japan during his first administration. Trump met the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi Three times during his period, the last of which was in February.

Vice President JD Vance It also happened to visit India when the Islamic militants killed 27 people in the town of Bahajam, which led to the maximum crisis in India for years.

In the midst of tensions, Trump seemed to benefit from his relations with both sides for diplomatic intervention. His role remains disputed by Moody, who told Trump that India was not interested in the third -party mediation of the Kashmir conflict during his call on Tuesday, according to the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Vikram Missri.

Moody told the correspondents on Friday that he “politely” rejected “a show from Trump to meet at the White House this week, citing a commitment in advance.
