The adjacent nations of Pakistan and Iran have long been involved in a face-off as border incursions, cross-border terrorism, heavy tariffs on border trade, illegal immigration and risks of sectarian fault lines continue to remain main points of contention between the duo, media reports said.
Despite several high-profile visits between the two countries, the talks have failed to address the core issues, Global Strat View reported adding that Pakistan’s renewed alignment with the US-Saudi Arabia axis further exacerbates the Iran-Pakistan relations.
A number of incidents which are projected as a sign of bonhomie apparently bring to the fore the deep mistrust between Pakistan and Iran. In August 2022, a Pakistan Air Force delegation and the Pakistan Air and Naval attache at Teheran were reportedly subjected to intimidation and harassment by the Iranian officials during their visit to the Kashan airbase, as per Global Strat View.
However, when the Pakistan military attache protested, he was confined and his cell phone confiscated by the Iranian officials. The Iranian officials also remarked that they were only paying back to Pakistan what was being done to their officials in Pakistan for a long time.
