Iranian President's visit to Pakistan, Palestinian-Israeli tension, our priorities, what happened on the gas pipeline?


Analytical report ( Tariq Mahmood Jahangiri Comr) Iranian President Syed Ibrahim Raisi arrived in Karachi on his three-day visit on April 23. On the first day of his visit, he held meetings with President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir, during which they discussed ways to prevent cross-border terrorism. initiatives, signed eight different agreements including establishing new economic zones. Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi visited Pakistan at a time when tensions between Israel and Iran are at a peak and both countries have also carried out direct airstrikes on each other this month. President Ibrahim Raisi's visit to Pakistan was significant because border tensions between Pakistan and Iran had escalated in January this year when the two countries launched missile attacks on each other's territory in an anti-terrorist operation. . Both countries have accused each other of harboring militants in the past. On the occasion of this visit, it was expected that issues related to the future of the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project would also be considered, but the mention of this important project in the joint press conference of the Iranian President and the Pakistani President and Prime Minister and the official press release is surprising. was absent. This project was not mentioned in the announcement issued by the Prime Minister's House, nor was it mentioned in the statement of any minister or advisor. Why was the silence on Pak-Iran gas pipeline project? What are its reasons? Was Pakistan reluctant to discuss the project due to American pressure? It was a well-thought-out move or a diplomatic plan of both countries? But it is a question mark that what benefits will Pakistan get from this visit of the Iranian president? Will Pakistan once again face a failed foreign policy and its harmful negative diplomatic relations this time as in the past? This project was started in the last days of the government of the People's Party. Between Pakistan and Iran 7.5 Inauguration of gas pipeline project worth billions of dollars 2013 I happened when President Asif Ali Zardari visited Iran. The project was stalled due to international sanctions on Iran. During the tenure of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, no significant progress was made on this project. In February by the former caretaker government of Pakistan 80 Construction of a section of Km was approved. But immediately after that, objection was raised on the gas pipeline project by the United States. America said that while working on the project with Iran, Pakistan may also face economic sanctions. While the delay on this project has already put Pakistan in a difficult situation because on the one hand there is a strong possibility of Iran imposing fines on Pakistan through international organizations for not laying the pipeline on its part. . It is a wise move and successful diplomacy on the part of both the countries not to mention the Pak-Iran gas line project in the current tense and tense situation. It is a wise decision of both the countries to remain silent on this issue is the need of the hour. There are some important issues related to the gas pipeline project in both the countries which are still unresolved. There is no allotment of land for pipeline laying in Gwadar yet. How can Pakistan go ahead with this project without getting hit by sanctions? It may be noted that the recent visit was scheduled when tensions between the two neighboring countries rose earlier this year. The problems of cross-border terrorism and smuggling bring both countries closer to Iran and Pakistan. The visit of the Iranian president was also felt to restore the damaged relations between the two countries. If we look at the current context of the region, a commercial and political block is emerging in which China, Afghanistan and Iran are present. It is not possible for Pakistan to stay out of this new block. Why should Pakistan stay out of it? It is in Pakistan's interest to have good relations with Iran. There are also some important questions that need to be considered. Why did the country that first recognized Pakistan attack it now? Many Pakistanis are complacent. Imran Khan made a sudden emergency visit to Russia when the no-confidence movement was at its peak. The chances of success of this movement were clearly visible. Imran Khan could have made an oil deal with Russia and Iran, but why did he not make an agreement during his regime? China's CPEC project is also stalled. This was also the global agenda of Britain and America. America attacked Afghanistan because of Osama bin Laden. As long as Osama was alive, America's ambitions were fulfilled. Even after his death, he came to the service of America. Bush won the presidential election. Osama bin Laden cannot be ignored in the plan to assassinate Benazir Bhutto. Asif Zardari, along with American President Obama, conducted a successful operation to kill Osama on the soil of Pakistan with great skill and beauty. Asif Zardari is also credited with the visit of the Iranian president and the gas pipeline project. Undermining the establishment can also be part of the strategy.
